About COVID-19

Although it is a new virus, a lot is already known about COVID-19, starting with the family it belongs and the characteristics of this Coronavirus (@CSIC, 2020) (see Illustration 5)

Information has been discovered thanks to the involvement of numerous research laboratories and universities around the world, and having in addition for the first time the genetic sequence of the virus released by China as a way to stimulate the search for a cure.

These two factors have allowed that different tests are currently being carried out throughout the world, trying to know how to combat its advance and especially to reduce the death rate.

From the O.M.S. answers are offered about what COVID-19 is, what its symptoms are, how it spreads, or what is the recovery and death rate among those infected, and others (O.M.S., 2020b).

But despite this, various aspects are still being investigated today for which there is still no answer, especially in relation to an effective treatment, both preventive and to reduce the consequences of the disease.
