ABSTRACT

The infection by COVID-19 (SARS-Cov-2), which is currently a pandemic, has health services as a cornerstone for the approach. The doctor plays a fundamental role in the entire diagnostic and therapeutic management of the patient with COVID-19, however, it can be a vector for transmission at the nosocomial and community level. Based on the experience and publications of hospital centers where the current pandemic started and where a large number of cases have occurred, it allows us to better understand the transmission mechanisms, weaknesses and improvements that can be applied to our health centers and the doctor, in order to reduce nosocomial infection.
