ALMEIDA-ESPINOSA, Alexander  y  SARMIENTO-ARDILA, Jorge A.. COVID-19: implications of SARS-CoV-2 in Colombia. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2020, vol.156, n.4, pp.330-334.  Epub 27-Mayo-2021. ISSN 2696-1288.  https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.m20000409.

COVID-19 arrived to Latin America early in March 2020. Currently, strategies are being developed in Colombia focusing on the quarantine and social and economic capital reactivation, whereby the expected results are not being obtained. In this article, we propose to review scientific evidence-based literature where information on the operation and adaptation of health systems, and social, economic and solidarity sectors of Colombia is presented. The purpose is to identify COVID-19 implications in the network that provides health services, quality of life and health-disease prognosis in the country, which is not prepared to face crises of social nature and of health systems, as well as the economic and solidarity impacts that are brought about by pandemics and crude episodes of disease.

Palabras llave : Covid-19; Coronavirus; Pandemics; Healthcare system; Public health; Socioeconomic impact.
