description The pandemic associated with the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 represents a challenge imposed on human beings and their society, on a planetary basis, with repercussions yet to be determined at all levels of the biopsychosocial cultural-spiritual relationship. It represents one of the most serious challenges humankind has ever experienced, and signals the occurrence of other emergencies and reemergence's of diseases, in similar and episodic situations, which express human vulnerability and weightlessness, and requires reflection on self-knowledge and respect for limits of their dignity. This review is an effort to summarize in a simple and practical way the amount of significant aspects to the knowledge that is presented in an overwhelming way that accompanies the virology, epidemiology, clinic, diagnosis, therapy, and prevention of the disease by the SARS-CoV-2, so that its approach can be understood and facilitated.
