Occupational health in the COVID-19 era

Preventive actions have reached a new height in the COVID-19 pandemic and since there is not a specific treatment yet, while the vaccines demonstrate their effectiveness and gradually are applied to the population, preventive measures are still recommended. Among these actions, occupational health faces challenges, since a significant part of the population is economically active and have had to suspend work, and in the current context, return-to-work measures have been implemented. The care and protection of healthcare workers is crucial, given that they are the specific population that takes care for patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and this increases their exposure to the virus and expands their possibility of suffering from COVID-19, which must be recognized as an occupational disease which must be attended from the prevention of exposure to the care of sequelae and even compensation for death derived from this disease.
