The crisis that is causing the disease called COVID-19 is severely affecting the health system of many countries, which require alternative measures to care this large number of patients who are not able to be treated at medical centers. This is the reason why home care is considered an alternative, for which it must be very rigorous with the care of the sick person, since if it is not done in a proper way, the other members of the family home are under risk of contamination, which would increase the saturation of the health system. Indications such as the stay of the patient in one place, the use of protective barriers when entering this area, or the constant sanitization of hands, among other measures, can lead to the success of this type of actions, favoring the prompt recovery of the patient and the preservation of the health of the other members at home.
