Introduction: Due to the importance of infectious diseases for global public health, the investigation of disease outbreaks that can be prevented and controlled by health services is essential. Objective: Describe outbreaks reported in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, in 2020 and 2022, to demonstrate the importance of surveillance in situations of disease outbreaks and/or public health problems. Method: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, retrospective, qualitative-quantitative epidemiological study with temporal secondary data collected from the outbreak notification system developed by the team at the Strategic Health Surveillance Information Center (CIEVS/Estadual) of Mato Grosso do Sul. Results: In the period, 599 outbreaks were reported, involving 8.076 suspected and 5.191 confirmed individuals. Among the outbreaks, 569 (95%) were caused by Sars-CoV-2, at 32 municipalities, most occurring in industries and hospital. Twenty-six deaths occurred in the period, of which 15 were caused by SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks. Conclusions: The use of tools for the notification of outbreaks is effective and helps in quick decision-making when applied efficiently.
