Contraception & covid - 19

Abstract

The COVID-19 disease caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 was first identified in December 2019 in the city of Wuhan, the People's Republic of China, and within a few months it became a pandemic. It has been a global challenge that threatens public health and has led to the implementation of strict social isolation measures. As a consequence of the health emergency, there has been a significant reduction in healthcare activity and has jeopardized access to and continuity of contraceptive methods, thus exposing women to the risk of unintended pregnancies. Sexual and reproductive rights are essential and must always be guaranteed.
