ABSTRACT

The number of people infected with the coronavirus (COVID-19) is increasing rapidly in Brazil. It has been proven that COVID-19 can be transmitted from human to human and can lead to hospital-acquired infections, which seriously threaten surgical teams and inpatients. We emphasize that the following suggestions are based on minimal worldwide experience in coping with the disease and are in line with similar attempts to recognize better therapies. Thus, these recommendations can be modified.

RESUMO

O número de pessoas infectadas com o coronavírus (COVID-19) está aumentando rapidamente no Brasil. Está provado que o COVID-19 pode ser transmitido de humano para humano e pode levar a infecções adquiridas em hospitais, que ameaçam seriamente as equipes cirúrgicas e pacientes internados.

Enfatizamos que as sugestões a seguir são baseadas em uma experiência mundial mínima no enfrentamento da doença e estão alinhadas com tentativas semelhantes de reconhecer melhores terapias. Assim, essas recomendações podem ser modificadas.
