COVID-19 – Manual de Recomendações.

Abstract

In December 2019 the city of Wuhan in China notified the World Health Organization (WHO) that they were suffering an outbreak of pneumonia. As infections and deaths increased, medical authorities began to investigate and identified a new coronavirus, this time named SARS-COVID-2. A few days later the cases of COVID-19 (disease caused by the new Coronvirus) spread to several countries, infecting and leading to death of a large number of people. On March 11, 2020, WHO declared that COVID-19 was characterized as a pandemic. In February 2020, Brazil confirmed the first case of COVID-19. The objective of this work is

to provide a social service to the community in the face of the pandemic caused by COVID- 19. So far, there are no vaccines and there is no cure medication, only measures to prevent

and contain the advance of the new coronavirus. This research was developed based on the community's need to obtain information on how to prevent and face Covid-19. While science no longer finds answers to prevent and combat the new coronavirus, it is up to each Brazilian citizen to follow the recommendations of WHO, Ministry of Health and Secretary of Health of their respective State. I conclude this research affirming its importance for my academic formation in the face of the problem addressed and its contribution to society in general.
