RESUMEN
El coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) es un virus que afecta las vías respiratorias del huésped infectado, provocando daños no solamente a ese nivel, sino una disfunción multiorgánica que provoca la muerte de la persona infectada. Factores como la edad (adultos mayores), comorbilidades (obesidad, diabetes, hipertensión, etcétera) favorecen que la afectación por este virus sea más letal. Esta pandemia que inició en China y se ha expandido en una gran cantidad de países en todo el mundo ha obligado a los servicios de salud no solamente a atender la pandemia, sino a desarrollar protocolos para la atención de los pacientes y la protección del personal de salud.
