Abstract
CADENA-ESTRADA, Julio C. et al. Nursing before COVID-19, a key point for the prevention, control and mitigation of the pandemic. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2020, vol.90, suppl.1, pp.94-99. Epub Mar 24, 2021. ISSN 1665-1731. https://doi.org/10.24875/acm.m20000058.
The SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 outbreak originated in China has reached Mexico. However, the scientific community, including nursing, has generated vertiginous evidence that can help make decisions in the care of the affected population. The purpose of this study is to describe the nursing experience before COVID-19 as a key point for the prevention, control and mitigation of the pandemic. Based on the recommendations issued by the Ministry of Health, the clinical evidence and the resources available in the health institutions, the disease prevention measures have been initiated and maintained both in the community and in the health institutions. The reconversion of hospitals and care protocols adapted to our context are trying to strengthen the control and mitigation of the disease.
