, has spread rapidly, with new cases confirmed in multiple countries. Many efforts to contain the virus are ongoing, such as containment, individual measures of protection, the authorization of use of some drugs as chloquorine in some countries. Also, it has been known that symptomatic and asymptomatic people whom are infected by COVID-19 have the same contagiousness which expose a far greater portion of the population to virus and increase the late diagnosis and thereafter enhance COVID-19 mortality. Thereafter, it is fundamental to review our COVID-19 screening approach and enlarge COVID-19 testing to the general population by using rapid testing appliances such as rapid SARS-CoV-2 IgG-IgM combined antibody since another appliance more efficient will be performed.
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease in wuhan china, the infection become a pandemic and a major public health concern all over the world. Pregnant women and their fetuses are at high risk of infectious disease outbreaks. Physiological and mechanical changes in pregnancy increase susceptibility to infections in general, particularly when the cardiorespiratory system is affected, and encourage rapid progression to respiratory failure during pregnancy. We need to further strengthen preventive measures amongst pregnant women against COVID-19, and to reinforce visit time and procedures in obstetric clinics and units with specialized infection control to limit the spread of the disease over the population especially the neonates.
Coronavirus disease 2019 caused by a novel coronavirus was first identified in Wuhan, China and rapidly spread across the world. With the COVID-19 outbreak, a penury of PPE was seen all over the word and especially in FFP2 masks, which is due to high demand and the closure of almost all factories especially in China. Faced with this shortage, health workers had to find ways to protect themselves while waiting for the arrival of standard means. The idea started in some European hospitals and then medical offices whom begin to use Easybreath Decathlon mask which is characterized by its high sealing as a mean of personal protective equipment to substitute at the same time to FFP2 masks and face shield. It could be fundamental and may save many health workers to distribute Easybreath Decathlon mask to all African hospitals whom are fighting COVID-19 infection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
