The COVID-19 pandemic has generated a revolution of such magnitude that no aspect of human life will be the same from now on. The provision of health services and health education are not unrelated to this new normality imposed by the disease, and its consequences have been reflected in the need to use protocols and resources based on virtuality that most of us had not valued in their real dimension. Telehealth and telemedicine will be basic tools for professionals and teachers and it is our obligation to know them, apply them, and innovate to adapt to this reality.
新冠疫情引发了一场规模如此巨大的变革,以至于从现在起人类生活的方方面面都将截然不同。医疗服务的提供和健康教育与这种疾病强加的新常态并非毫无关联,其后果体现在需要使用基于虚拟性的协议和资源上,而我们大多数人此前并未重视其实际意义。远程医疗和远程医学将成为专业人员和教师的基本工具,我们有义务了解它们、应用它们并进行创新以适应这一现实。
