This study aimed to map the scientific literature on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the execution of tuberculosis control actions in primary care. It is a scope review, guided by the method proposed by Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewers, developed from five stages. Studies that focused on the analysis of TB control actions were included, considering the studies that contextualize the scenario of the COVID-19 pandemic in the provision, management, and development of tuberculosis services, also, studies that involved the context of APS units were included. The results were classified by categories of conceptual analyses, from the analysis of thematic categorization, presented in frames and tables. The search strategy resulted in a total of 1,014 publications and, after the selection and eligibility process, 21 studies were selected. The mapping of the scientific literature of the study identified the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in all categories named as TB control actions in APS. Despite the significant impacts pointed out by the studies, it is possible and feasible to recover the response to TB in the post-pandemic period, through accelerated efforts.
