In December 2019, COVID-19 was responsible for a pandemic scenario having Wuhan, China, as the epicenter of the transmission. The
virus has a notorious capacity for human-to-human transmission, which facilitated rapid global dissemination, being declared a public health
emergency of international concern. In this article we collected information about the COVID-19 outbreak, using recent publications from
around the world. This revision identifies the need to self-isolation, the autonomy to order a test based on clinical suspicion and also tracking
the cases, the importance to invest on organizing hospital triage, separating the diagnosed cases and on educating the population about the
COVID-19. We hope that through this data we can all learn more from this virus behavior, taking the example from other countries who are
also dealing with the ongoing outbreak to battle against virus spread.
