ABSTRACT

The coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a virus that affects the airways of the infected host, causing damage not only at that level, but also multi-organ dysfunction that causes its death. Factors such as age (older adults), comorbidities (obesity, diabetes, hypertension, etc.) favor that the affectation by this virus is more lethal. This pandemic that started in China and has spread in many countries around the world has forced health services not only to attend to the pandemic but also to develop protocols for the care of patients for their protection and the personnel of health.
