Preventive actions have reached a new height in the COVID-19 pandemic and since there is not a specific treatment yet, while the vaccines demonstrate their effectiveness and gradually are applied to the population, preventive measures are still recommended. Among these actions, occupational health faces challenges, since a significant part of the population is economically active and have had to suspend work, and in the current context, return-to-work measures have been implemented. The care and protection of healthcare workers is crucial, given that they are the specific population that takes care for patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and this increases their exposure to the virus and expands their possibility of suffering from COVID-19, which must be recognized as an occupational disease which must be attended from the prevention of exposure to the care of sequelae and even compensation for death derived from this disease.
在新冠疫情期间，预防措施达到了新高度。由于目前尚无特效治疗方法，尽管疫苗已证明其有效性并逐渐应用于人群，但仍建议采取预防措施。在这些行动中，职业健康面临挑战，因为很大一部分人口从事经济活动，不得不暂停工作，并且在当前背景下，已实施了重返工作岗位的措施。医护人员的护理和保护至关重要，因为他们是照顾感染新冠病毒患者的特定人群，这增加了他们接触病毒的机会，扩大了感染新冠的可能性，必须将其认定为职业病，从预防接触到后遗症护理甚至对因该疾病导致的死亡进行赔偿，都必须予以关注。
