Highlights
The World Health Organization released recommendations including social distancing, use of personal protective equipment, and respiratory hygiene to decrease the risk of coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
The World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines identify as the main source of the COVID-19 contagion inhaling the residual droplets generated by coughing or sneezing of people infected with respiratory symptoms [4]
We described sociodemographic variables using measures of central tendency and dispersion, frequencies and percentages; to obtain the contact rate per hour, the frequency of contacts was multiplied by 60 minutes and divided by the observation time
Summary
The World Health Organization released recommendations including social distancing, use of personal protective equipment, and respiratory hygiene to decrease the risk of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) decreed this disease as a pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2, with more than 118,000 cases in 114 countries and 4,291 deaths at that time [1]. Some respiratory infections are partly the product of contacts of the hands with entry ports like the mouth, nose, and eyes. This contact is a relevant component in the chain of transmission in diseases such as rhinovirus and influenza [2,3].
