Detection, notification, investigation, and treatment are the most effective public health measures in disease management. The objective of the present study was to identify the determinants of COVID-19 patients’ refusal to go to epidemiological treatment centers for their care. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study on a sample of COVID-19 patients. Data analysis was done with Epi-info software. The opinions were grouped into themes and analyzed by triangulation. A total of 73/218 patients were surveyed (33.5% participation rate). Among them 38.36% were from Matam and 20.55% from Matoto. The probability of hospitalization after refusal was higher in women than in men (OR = 5.6 CI (1.3-23.4) and P-value = 0.023. And that of being hospitalized after refusal was lower in the under 40s (OR = 0.18 CI (0.05-0.7) and P-value = 0.023). These differences are statistically significant. The reasons for refusal were denial of the disease, the quality of the offer and the stigma.: I am not sick, they confused the results, I was lied to for the test, the stigma, the lack of support from the family, the time to waiting for results, self-medication, ETC. This study made it possible to describe the determinants of the refusal of COVID-19 cases to accept CT-Epi care. A study combining refusals and hospitalized ones would be necessary.
