Telemedicina: ¿Una opción viable en tiempos de COVID-19?

Abstract

We have read with great interest the article “A new coronavirus, a new disease: COVID-19” by Pareja, et. al. where we observe that the repercussions bringing with pandemic, evidence the limited experience we have. Telemedicine (TM) has become a technological tool to provide medical care and a tool with great potential in settings where the infrastructure is intact and doctors are available for care. In this way, exposure is minimized, taking into account that number of infections occurred in hospitals was gargantuan.
