The pandemic of coronavirus infectious disease-2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a threat to global health. This has become an obstacle for the practice of hematology, mostly in low-middle income countries. For those hematologist and oncologists who perform hematopoietic stem cell transplantation HSCT the usual challenges of this kind of medical procedures have increased because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The importance of find the best route for performing HSCT avoiding excessive COVID-19 risk is of great importance. By doing so, we have been able to conduct 170 hematopoieic stem cell transplants during the COVID-19 pandemia.
