Abstract

Humanity has faced several pandemics throughout its history. In the last 700 years there have been several rapidly spreading diseases that have caused numerous deaths. The disease known as Covid 19 has caused a pandemic, which apart from the multiple health complications due to the high morbidity
associated with respiratory transmission, its increasing mortality, and the lack of an approved vaccine so far, has led several nations to take drastic measures to try to contain the spread of the disease. In the specific case of Panama, strict quarantine measures were implemented; however, within the framework of the reopening, it was necessary to design biosecurity protocols to prevent the spread of the virus. In the present research, a biosafety protocol has been proposed to be applied in radiology, tomography and magnetic resonance units in hospitals and type 1 diagnostic centers. Methodologically, the study was developed under a descriptive design, using the scheme of a proposal, taking as a reference the recommendations of national and international health entities. Finally, a biosafety protocol was proposed for the health institutions described above.
