“…In comparison to surgical face masks or N95 respirators, the homemade face masks, i.e., cotton-flannel masks show very limited efficacy (maximum up to >90% for particles >300 nanometers) (Konda et al 2020). Thus, as the world's capability for manufacturing surgical masks improves day by day, it will be recommended to use surgical face masks with aerosol efficacy >95% instead of cotton-based masks (Stern et al 2020). This will give rise to a new challenge.…”

“…This information could be useful in providing recommendations about their usage. However, based on past outbreaks, the evidence did not show positive or negative effects when the population used facemasks (Stern et al, 2020). Since the first COVID-19 cases reported in Latin America, fake news and misinformation have increased, where even treatments with potential health affectations have been proposed, as in the case of using chloroform or ether as alleged COVID-19 treatments (Lana et al, 2020;Martins & Santos, 2020).…”

This article aimed to give the visibility of Latin American researchers’ contributions to the comprehension of COVID-19; our method was a literature review. Currently, the world is facing a health and socioeconomic crisis caused by the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, and its disease COVID-19. Therefore, in less than 4 months, researchers have published a significant number of articles related to this novel virus. For instance, a search focused on the Scopus database on 10 April 2020, showed 1,224 documents published by authors with 1,797 affiliations from 80 countries. A total of 25.4%, 24.0% and 12.6% of these national affiliations were from China, Europe and the USA, respectively, making these regions leaders in COVID-19 research. In the case of Latin America, on 10 April 2020, we searched different databases, such as Scopus, PubMed and Web of Science, finding that the contribution of this region was 2.7 ± 0.6% of the total publications found. In other words, we found 153 publications related to COVID-19 with at least one Latin American researcher. We summarized and processed the information from these 153 publications, finding active participation in topics like medical, social and environmental considerations, bioinformatics and epidemiology.

“…El uso de mascarillas por parte de la población general ha sido un tema ampliamente discutido como medida efectiva de prevención, ya que hasta la fecha no existe evidencia científica concluyente que demuestre que el uso de mascarillas en el ámbito comunitario reduzca el contagio de SARS-CoV-2 o alguna otra infección respiratoria aguda viral 66 . Ante esto, la OMS ha recomendado el uso de mascarillas solo a la población infectada y no recomienda su uso generalizado.…”

In late December 2019, some cases of atypical pneumonia, at that time of unknown origin, were reported in Wuhan, China. Days later, the etiologic agent was identified as a new coronavirus. This new coronavirus was called SARS-CoV-2 and the disease it produces was named COVID-19. The origin of this new virus is presumed zoonotic, with bats being its probable vector. Due to the rapid number of infections and deaths that occurred first in China and later around the world, the infection of this virus quickly went from being an isolated outbreak in a Chinese * Autor para correspondencia.
