In order to help clarify the characteristics of the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, ISPUP was responsible for producing a series of scientific texts, at the very start of the pandemic, named “From the emergence of a novel human virus to the global dissemination of a new disease – Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)”, in partnership with the Emerging Diseases Unit of the Infectious Diseases Service of the Centro Hospitalar Universitário de São João.
These texts, written by a wide range of authors with expertise in Public Health and infectious diseases, addressed both the characteristics of the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, the COVID-19 disease, and its impact on various sectors of society and medical specialties. The articles, which were updated in March 2021 and are written in portuguese, can be consulted below.
