Abstract
In December 2019, the first cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology were reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) office in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Subsequently, a new coronavirus family virus (CoV) was identified as the causal agent. The disease was named by the WHO as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Due to its rapid global expansión and high infectivity, the disease was declared a global health emergency. Mortality has been seen to vary depending on the region. Multiple countries, including Colombia, have managed to develop containment strategies based on social isolation with an important secondary socioeconomic impact. The following article describes the virus clinical features, its epidemiology in Colombia and public health measures taken in Colombia and other countries in latin america in response to the pandemic.
