Abstract

Introduction: In humans, coronaviruses present a wide symptomatic spectrum, ranging from asymptomatic forms to serious diseases that may require hospitalization.

Objective: To characterize COVID-19 according to clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic elements.

Methods: A bibliographic review was carried out, for which 108 bibliographic references were used in English and Spanish, from Pubmed/Medline, SCIELO, Scopus and ScienceDirect were used to search for it, as well as official sources such as the WHO site, China CDC, CDC and FDA.

Conclusions: The application of preventive measures is the main weapon in the fight against COVID-19. If no action is taken, the conditions that led to the emergence of COVID-19 could return, leading to the emergence of new diseases.
