“…Furthermore, although healthcare workers may have more knowledge about the means of transmission of the virus [24], it is hard to detect asymptomatic patients with COVID-19, which poses a great risk for these workers and the population in general [37].…”

To determine the perception of possible infection caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and associated complications according to the labor sector in Peru. Methods: We performed an observational, cross sectional, and secondary data analysis. The study had three dependent variables that were obtained from a locally validated questionnaire, in which it is asked whether the professionals had the perception that they could be infected with SARS-CoV-2 at work, or could transmit the virus to their family/friends, and regarding the possibility of complications related to the infection. Results: Of the 2843 workers participating in the study, those in the health sector perceived that they were more likely to be infected at work. In the multivariate analysis, adjusted for four variables, health sector workers also perceived that they could be infected more frequently at work (adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR): 1.74; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.40-2.15; p <0.001). These professionals, moreover, perceived that they could transmit the virus to their family/friends (aPR: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.63-0.92; p = 0.005) or that there would be complications resulting from the infection (aPR: 0.59; 95% CI: 0.48-0.73; p <0.001). On the other hand, engineering sector workers were the ones who had a greater perception that they could infect their family/friends (aPR: 1.95; 95% CI: 1.20-3.20; p = 0.007), while workers from other sectors perceived that they could have more chances of complications from the infection (aPR: 1.17; 95% CI: 1.05-1.30; p = 0.006). Conclusion: The health sector may be the most vulnerable in this context, which is why occupational health teams should develop and implement specific surveillance plans to prevent and reduce the number of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases among healthcare workers.

“…Dear Editor, The current pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has had catastrophic effects on human society in several aspects, including social, economic, and public health. (1,2) Severe cases of the disease are often associated with respiratory, renal, and cardiovascular complications, as well as with other related risks. (3,4) More specifically, the COVID-19 pandemic has considerably modified our lifestyle due to mainly "social distancing" measures that has been adopted to reduce the SARS-CoV-2 infection rates, protect the vulnerable populations, and prevent the collapse of health systems.…”

“…The present global epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) represents a major threat to public health worldwide [1][2][3]. The virus that causes the disease was named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and it is characterized by high transmissibility (3-and 10-fold higher than those of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV)), which has been proven to be directly related to the sequence of the S protein of the virus [4].…”

The current pandemic has changed the social life and learning of most children and adolescents around the world due to public health restrictions. In response to this, they have spent more time on computer and television monitor screens, which should negatively impact their eye health. Thus, here we discuss the possible association between the imposed home confinement and risk of developing 'quarantine myopia' in children and adolescents.
