Resumo
Since the Epidemiological Alert on the new coronavirus (2019-nCoV) published on January 16, 2020 and until January 20, 2020 four countries have reported to the World Organization Health (WHO) confirmed cases: China (198 cases, including three deaths, 2 cases in Beijing and 1 case in Guandong, all imported from Wuhan), Japan (1 case, imported from Wuhan, China), Thailand (two cases imported from Wuhan, China) and Republic of Korea (1 case imported from Wuhan, China). According to the information disclosed by the Chinese authorities, an epidemiological investigation led by a national team of experts began on December 31, 2019 and the following public health measures were implemented: case isolation, identification and followup of contacts, environmental sanitation and laboratory research. To date, continues the uncertainty about the new pathogen and the spectrum of manifestations it may cause, the source of infection, the mode of transmission, the incubation period, the severity of the disease and the specific control measures. Current evidence suggests that person-to-person transmission is limited, which would be consistent with what is known about other similar pathogens. However, person-to-person transmission, included in the nosocomial environment, has been documented on a recurring basis for other emerging coronaviruses, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-causing Coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Therefore, control measures taken for SARS and MERS can guide the response against this new pathogen.
 
Desde la Alerta Epidemiológica sobre el nuevo coronavirus (2019-nCoV) publicada el 16 de enero de 2020 (disponible en: https://bit.ly/3alZAxe) y hasta al 20 de enero de 2020 cuatro países en total han reportado a la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) casos confirmados: China (198 casos en Wuhan, incluidas tres defunciones, 2 casos en Beijing y un caso en Guandong, los tres importados de Wuhan), Japón (1 caso, importado desde Wuhan, China), Tailandia (dos casos importados desde Wuhan, China) y la República de Corea (1 caso importado de Wuhan, China). De acuerdo con la información divulgada por las autoridades chinas, una investigación epidemiológica dirigida por un equipo nacional de expertos comenzó el 31 de diciembre de 2019 y fueron implementadas las siguientes medidas de salud pública: aislamiento de casos, identificación y seguimiento de contactos, saneamiento ambiental e investigación de laboratorio. A la fecha, continua la incertidumbre sobre el nuevo patógeno y el espectro de manifestaciones que pueda causar, la fuente de infección, el modo de transmisión, el periodo de incubación, la gravedad de la enfermedad y las medidas específicas de control. La evidencia actual sugiere que la transmisión de persona a persona es limitada, lo cual sería consistente con lo que se conoce sobre otros patógenos similares. En particular, la transmisión de persona a persona, incluido en el entorno nosocomial, ha sido documentada para otros coronavirus emergentes, como el Síndrome respiratorio agudo severo (SARS) y el Coronavirus causante del síndrome respiratorio de Oriente Medio (MERS-CoV). Por ende, las medidas de control tomadas para SARS y MERS pueden guiar interinamente a la repuesta contra este nuevo patógeno.
