RESUMEN
Desde los primeros casos descritos de infección por SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) en diciembre de 2019 en Wuhan (provincia de Hubei), China, la pandemia ha afectado a 216 países del mundo y ha causado un problema de salud pública. El conocimiento del virus y su capacidad para causar enfermedad ha sido el tema principal de investigaciones recientes; sin embargo, hay mucho que aún se desconoce. El conocimiento de las potenciales vías de transmisión del SARS-CoV-2 (respiratoria/gotas, indirecta, fecal-oral, vertical, sexual y ocular) son importantes en la práctica clínica, especialmente para la aplicación de medidas preventivas para mitigar la diseminación del SARS-CoV-2. A continuación, presentamos una revisión de la literatura de las características del virus, epidemiología y mecanismos de transmisión recientemente descritos.
