ResumoThe anesthesiologist and COVID-19 O anestesiologista e a COVID-19In December 2019, China reported clusters of pneumonia in the city of Wuhan, epidemiologically related to transmission from animals.On December, 31, 2019, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of China described a new coronavirus and announced the first stage of an outbreak. 1In addition to coronavirus SARS-CoV and coronavirus MERS-CoV, the world would be facing a new virus that was named SARS-CoV-2, which could lead to a severe acute respiratory syndrome and was named by the World Health Organization COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019). 2 The current scenario was not initially anticipated, but China began presenting numbers that grew on an exponential scale, which led to the isolation of the province in which the city of Wuhan is located.While the situation seemed isolated to China, with a few cases outside the original region, on January 31, 2020 two cases were diagnosed in Rome, Italy. 3 The outbreak in Lombardy, in northern Italy, began with a 38-year-old Italian who presented to the hospital with flu-like symptoms.After this, two elderly individuals died after having been to the same hospital. 4At the end of February, there were already over 400 confirmed cases in Lombardy. 5On March 8, 2020, Italy already registered over 5800 cases and 233 deaths. 6The quarantine decreed for northern Italy was soon expanded to the entire country, determining that citizens confine themselves until the beginning of April, 2020. 7ven with the containment measures in China and in Italy, there was a global expansion of transmission, and in mid-March, 2020 the Johns Hopkins University specialized site disclosed the confirmation of over 200 thousand cases in over 160 countries and territories, with over nine thousand deaths and 82 thousand individuals recovered. 8On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 pandemic. 9Italy is currently the most affected country, with over 30 thousand cases and over 3000 deaths.WHO declared Europe the new epicenter of the Pandemic. 8he virus arrived officially to Brazil on February 25, 2020, along with the diagnosis of a 61-year old man, coming from Lombardy, and who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 in the city of São Paulo. 10 When this editorial was written, in Brazil there were over 600 cases and at least six deaths already.
