In Peru, patient zero or first case with COVID-19 was detected on March 6 and since then the virus has continued to spread. The national government fights against this disease on several fronts, but the health situation differs greatly from developed countries. Objective: To review the current state of the disease and analyze its possible impact on the Peruvian health system. Methods: A bibliographic search of various studies was carried out since the appearance of the disease (December 2019) in the different databases (PUBMED, MEDLINE, PLOs, SciELO) and in Google Scholar. Results: It was found that the virus is transmitted mainly by the respiratory route; the average incubation period is 14 days; most patients have mild disease or are asymptomatic but 5% of these will require hospitalization, some will even require intensive therapy with mechanical ventilation; the current treatment is basically symptomatic, but antibiotics, antivirals and antiparasitics have also been used. Conclusions: The quarantine with strict measures of isolation and social distancing is accurate given the Peruvian health reality and the imminent contagion of the population.Introducción: La enfermedad denominada COVID-19 es una pandemia causada por el virus SARS-CoV-2 (síndrome agudo respiratorio severo 2). En el Perú, el paciente cero o primer caso con COVID-19 fue detectado el último 6 de marzo y desde entonces el virus continúa su propagación. El gobierno nacional lucha contra esta enfermedad desde varios frentes, pero la situación sanitaria difiere mucho con la de países desarrollados. Objetivo: Revisar el estado actual de la enfermedad y analizar su posible impacto en el sistema de salud peruano. Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica de diversos estudios desde la aparición de la enfermedad (diciembre 2019) en las diferentes bases de datos (PUBMED, MEDLINE, PLOs, SciELO) y también en Google Académico. Resultados: Se encontró que el virus se trasmite principalmente por vía respiratoria; el periodo de incubación promedio es 14 días; la mayoría de los pacientes tienen una enfermedad leve o son asintomáticos pero un 5% de estos requerirá hospitalización, algunos incluso requerirán terapia intensiva con ventilación mecánica; el tratamiento actual es básicamente sintomático, pero también antibióticos, antivirales y antiparasitarios.
