Basic information on COVID-19 pandemic, due to SARS-Cov-2 Virus

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the SARS-CoV-2 virus outbreak an internationally important public health emergency on 30 January  2020, and by 11 March declared it a pandemic. By 15 November 2020, according  to the WHO weekly report, there were  53.7 million confirmed cases and  1.3 million deaths reported globally. The Americas region is the most affected. The incubation period has been documented between 3 and 6 days. Transmission occurs from person to person by  respiratory droplets, which occur when a person speaks, coughs or sneezes.  The clinical presentation can range from a mild respiratory disease, with coughing, headache, and  general discomfort, which resolves in a few days, to a severe disease with shortness of breath, that requires immediate attention.  Global lethality reported as of November 26 is 2.3%. It is higher in people over the age of 65 and with underlying diseases such as high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes. There is currently no specific antiviral treatment. Vaccines are in development and several of them have shown promising results, but there is still a need to conclude with global trials. Until vaccination can be initiated,  prevention and control measures should be continued.  The best way to prevent the disease is to avoid exposure to infected or possibly infected people, as the virus can be transmitted even if the person has no symptoms.

Para el 15 noviembre de 2020, de acuerdo con el informe semanal de la OMS, se reportaron de forma global 53.7 millones de casos confirmados, y 1.3 millones de defunciones. La región de las Américas es la más afectada. El periodo de incubación ha sido documentado entre 3 a 6 días. La transmisión ocurre de persona a persona gotas respiratorias, que se producen cuando una persona habla, tose o estornuda.  El cuadro clínico puede ir desde una enfermedad respiratoria leve, con tos, cefalea, malestar general, que resuelve en unos días, hasta un cuadro grave con dificultad respiratoria que requiere atención inmediata. La letalidad global mundial reportada al 26 de noviembre es de 2.3%, es mayor en personas mayores de 65 años y con enfermedades subyacentes como hipertensión arterial, obesidad, y diabetes. Al momento no se cuenta con un tratamiento antiviral específico. Las vacunas están en desarrollo y varias de ellas han mostrado resultados prometedores, pero falta concluir con los ensayos. En tanto se puede iniciar la vacunación, se debe continuar con las medidas de prevención y control.  La mejor forma de prevenir la enfermedad es evitar exponerse a personas infectadas o posiblemente infectadas, ya que el virus puede transmitirse aún si la persona no tiene síntomas.2020text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=8696957(Revista) ISSN 2665-5489(Revista) ISSN 2665-5470Revista Análisis Jurídico-Político, ISSN 2665-5470, Vol. 2, Nº. 4, 2020 (Ejemplar dedicado a: Julio - Diciembre), pags. 29-47spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
