Aftermath of COVID-19, what comes next?
Abstract
Mr. editor,
Since the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic began, we have been in constant learning. Countries have been forced to respond with their best strategies, to try to prevent health systems from collapsing and to protect the lives of populations. To this end, containment measures and organized hospitalization services have been established, in addition to the fundamental role of intensive care units in treating serious infections, thus preventing thousands of deaths.
As of June 11, 2021, 3,724,705 cases had been reported in Colombia, of which 3,457,117 correspond to those recovered, which is comparable to those who did not lose their lives. However, we do not know how many of them will have physical and emotional consequences derived from COVID-19 infection (1).
