Abstract
On January 30 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak as epidemiological emergency. Globally, various guidelines have been published for the safety of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and health personnel working in hemodialysis centers. In Mexico, the prevalence of CKD is 12.2% and 60,000 patients receive some modality of renal replacement therapy at the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS, Mexican Institute for Social Security). This proposal for action is made in the face of suspected and confirmed cases of COVID-19 in intrahospital hemodialysis units.
