Abstract

In December 2019, an unprecedented outbreak of pneumonia of unknown etiology emerged in the city of Wuhan (Hubei, China), and from there a new coronavirus was identified as the causative agent, and the disease was later named COVID-19 by the Organization. World Health Organization (WHO), considered a relative of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), caused by a beta-coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2 that affects the lower respiratory tract and manifests as pneumonia in humans 1. Thus, since the entire month of February 2020, the 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) in Hubei province, China, was at its peak, requiring the physical isolation of the population. This circumstance spread throughout the world and Physical Isolation is the fundamental strategy to contain the speed of expansion of the disease and prevent health systems in countries like Colombia from collapsing.
