Summary: Today, it has become apparent that the various health systems around the world face heavy burdens as a result of the deadly coronavirus disease. In response to this, the countries have been planning, executing and imposing restrictions aimed at minimizing the transmission of the virus, seeking with these measures to prevent the pandemic from generating dire consequences on humanity, especially the groups that are the so-called vulnerable, to whom State and international legal systems apply a more intense protection system of rights. Understand by vulnerability, one that is given for reasons inherent to their biological, physical and mental condition. In this sense, it is necessary for health authorities to provide intersectional perspectives and attention to the needs and differentiated impact of these measures on the human rights of historically excluded groups or at special risk, such as: older people and people of any age who have pre-existing medical conditions, people deprived of liberty, women, indigenous peoples, people in a situation of human mobility, girls, boys and adolescents, people of African descent, people with disabilities, working people, and people living in poverty and extreme poverty, especially people informal workers and people living on the streets; as well as human rights defenders, social leaders, health professionals and journalists. In virtue of this, it is of great importance that the nations of the entire world manage to implement policies that include prevention and justice as a single point as a bioethical principle, especially those measures that manage to prevent vulnerable populations, since they are the most unprotected in the face of health ills like this, seeking in this way to guarantee a greater degree of universal and equal access to available health resources, avoiding waste, understood by waste, the disproportion in the use of the resource.
