Abstract

We are experiencing a unique time in everyone’s life, globally, with an indefinite length of stay, as well as the extent of its impacts; the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pneumonia pandemic. This disease is caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). As health workers, there are mixed feelings. On the one hand, hope, the frantic and urgent search for scientific evidences, prevention and efficient strategies for treatment of so many infected individuals with different levels of symptom severity. In another sense, the fear of contracting and acting as a vector for the transmission and dissemination of this disease.
