Cuidando a Los Pacientes Durante La Emergencia Del Coronavirus: Guía Para Psiquiatras
"La propagación rápida de las enfermedades infecciosas es una amenaza creciente. En las etapas iniciales de un brote de enfermedades infecciosas, como es el caso del nuevo Coronavirus (COVID-19), es frecuente que exista incertidumbre acerca de la naturaleza de la enfermedad, su propagación, alcance e impacto. Esto a menudo lleva a desarrollar malestar emocional, incluso entre los que no han estado expuestos directamente a la infección. Las reacciones psicológicas y conductuales más comunes incluyen los del estrés (insomnio, ansiedad, sentimientos de inseguridad o prejuicio, enojo e incremento en las consultas médicas debido a los temores a enfermar) y conductas riesgosas para la salud (aumento del consumo de alcohol y tabaco, desbalance entre el trabajo y otras actividades de la vida, aislamiento social, aumento en los conflictos familiares y violencia)."

Effetti Psicologici Della Quarantena Durante L'epidemia Di Coronavirus: Che Cosa Devono Sapere Gli Operatori
"La quarantena viene definita come la separazione degli individui che possono essere stati esposti a una malattia infettiva dal resto della popolazione, al fine di determinare se sono malati e per ridurre il rischio di contagio. Durante l'epidemia di coronavirus (COVID-19), la quarantena è stata utilizzata come strategia di salute pubblica per ridurre la trasmissione della malattia. Gli sforzi di attuare la quarantena per il COVID-19 sono andati dalla quarantena di massa di intere città in Cina, all'isolamento nelle strutture gestite dal governo, all'autoisolamento in casa. Se da un lato la quarantena può essere ampiamente utile per il bene pubblico, dall'altro è anche associata a delle difficoltà psicologiche per le persone in quarantena, i loro cari e gli operatori sanitari che si prendono cura di loro. In questo articolo vengono descritti gli effetti psicologici della quarantena, così come le strategie attraverso le quali gli operatori sanitari possono prendersi cura dei loro pazienti e del loro benessere mentale, durante i periodi di quarantena."

Salud Mental y Guías De Conducta Para Prepararse y Responder Al Brote De Coronavirus y Otras Enfermedades Infecciosas Emergentes
"Los brotes globales de varias enfermedades infecciosas como la del Coronavirus (COVID-19), pueden brindar información tanto de las respuestas psicológicas y conductuales a estos eventos como de las intervenciones apropiadas. Desde el brote altamente letal de la pandemia de influenza en 1918, hubo pocas amenazas globales por agentes infecciosos. El brote de SARS en Asia y Canadá, el de la influenza H1N1, el MERS, el virus del Ébola y el virus del Zika han dado importantes lecciones para informarnos acerca de la preparación y respuesta hacia los brotes. Como otras crisis y desastres, las pandemias generan una variedad de reacciones de malestar emocional (insomnio, disminución de la percepción de seguridad y ansiedad), conductas de riesgo para la salud (aumento en el consumo de alcohol y tabaco, desequilibrio entre el trabajo y la vida cotidiana por una actividad laboral extrema para aliviar el malestar) ocasionando trastornos psiquiátricos como el trastorno de estrés postraumático, depresión y ansiedad."

Effets Psychologiques De La Quarantaine Pendant L'épidémie De Coronavirus: Ce Que Les Professionnels De Santé Doivent Savoir
"La quarantaine est définie comme la séparation des individus qui peuvent avoir été exposés à une maladie infectieuse du reste de la population afin de déterminer s'ils sont malades et pour réduire leur risque d'infecter autrui. Pendant l'épidémie de coronavirus (COVID-19), la quarantaine a été utilisée comme stratégie de santé publique pour réduire la transmission des maladies. Les efforts de mise en quarantaine vont de la quarantaine de masse de villes entières en Chine, à l'isolement dans des installations gérées par le gouvernement et à l'auto-isolement à domicile. Bien que la quarantaine serve largement l'intérêt public, elle est également associée à des défis psychologiques pour les personnes mises en quarantaine, leurs proches et les professionnels de santé qui en prennent soin. Sont décrits ici les effets psychologiques de la quarantaine, ainsi que les stratégies pour permettre aux professionnels de santé de prendre soin de leurs patients et de leur propre bien-être mental pendant les périodes de quarantaine."

Ayudando a Los Niños Durante El Aislamiento En Casa Por La Emergencia De Coronavirus
"Las medidas de emergencia, como el aislamiento de los niños en casa, son medidas extremas para limitar la propagación de la infección del brote de coronavirus (COVID-19). A pesar del beneficio que tiene para la salud pública, para el niño estar resguardado en casa, aunque le brinda la oportunidad de pasar tiempo con la familia, también puede resultar en actividad física insuficiente, patrones irregulares de sueño, aumento de peso y disminución del bienestar físico. Como muchos padres saben, el aburrimiento y la frustración son frecuentes durante este tiempo de quedarse en casa."

Collecting Open Government Approaches to COVID-19
From the Webpage: "As many of our countries are facing unprecedented challenges from COVID-19 [coronavirus disease] the strain on our governments is extreme, and the impact on people all over the world continues to grow. [...] It is in moments of disaster response and relief that the values of open government can come under intense pressure, but can also meaningfully contribute to better outcomes. We believe the best role for OGP [Open Government Partnership] right now is to help create an open space for the community to share where they see open government approaches to tackling COVID-19 being implemented, either by governments themselves or civil society, citizens or the private sector."

From the Background: "Emergency medical services (EMS) play a vital role in responding to requests for assistance, triaging patients, and providing emergency medical treatment and transport for ill persons. However, unlike patient care in the controlled environment of a healthcare facility, care and transports by EMS present unique challenges because of the nature of the setting, enclosed space during transport, frequent need for rapid medical decision-making, interventions with limited information, and a varying range of patient acuity and jurisdictional healthcare resources."

COVID-19: What You Need to Know
From the Document: "COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. There are many types of coronaviruses, but COVID-19 is caused by a new coronavirus never previously seen in humans. [...] COVID-19 can spread to people who are in close contact (within about 6 feet) with an infected person when that person coughs or sneezes. COVID-19 can also live on surfaces, but it is not known for how long. [...] People at high risk for severe illness are those over 65 years old or those with other health conditions, such as lung disease, heart disease, diabetes, or cancer. People in close contact with the infected--such as in-home caretakers and intimate partners-- are also at high risk."
