Covid-19, first-rate health professionals, risksAbstract
In analysis a health problem that has lasted for more than a year and it is not known when it ends. Globally, Covid-19 has hit the healthcare and social sectors hard. First-line health professionals have proven themselves to be true heroes in this muscular fight against the new SARS-CoV-2 virus.
The objectives are: to identify the implications of the pandemic in the human work of health professionals of the first line, namely in women as the face of this work, as well as to analyze the epidemiology of the disease and socio-health care.
We proceeded to a literature review on the topic considering publications from the beginning of the pandemic to the present moment.
The serious impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is explicit in the reported numbers and first-line health professionals are particularly exposed to physical and psychological risk.
Scientific advances, widespread dissemination to better understand the virus and how to control it, international cooperation, as well as vaccination and the most effective drugs for treatment have accompanied this process and kept hope for the future.
