Biophysics Aspects Of Transmission Of Sars-Cov-2 And Measures To Reduce The Covid-19: A Comprehensive Review

COVID-19 pandemic has had the world on edge since its inception in December 2019 in southern China. Its global reach obeys that SARS-CoV-2, the etiological agent, has shown a high facility to be transmitted between humans. Since then, governments of all nations have deployed a battery of measures to lessen its consequences. According to the growth of the contagion, containment, mitigation, or suppression measures are used. The scientific basis for the measures is derived from knowledge of the biological characteristics of the virus and its transmission routes. Therefore, this work will review the biology of the coronavirus, the physics of its transmission and the concept of infection doses that allow understanding the health interventions used to reduce cases and deaths from the disease, especially in the Latin American context.
