Social distancing at health care centers early in the pandemic helps to protect population from COVID-19.

Social distancing at health care centers early in the pandemic helps to protect population from COVID-19. Environ Res. 2020 Oct;189:109957 Authors: Ortega-García JA, Ruiz-Marín M, Cárceles-Álvarez A, Campillo I López F, Claudio L Abstract The impact of COVID-19 outbreak has been unequal across Spanish regions. The epidemic wave has been smoother in the Region of Murcia (RM) (6 deaths/100,000 residents). Physical distance from health centers from day 0 is an additional social distancing measure that confers an advantageous starting position in the fight against COVID-19. Late healthcare distancing measures are not as powerful as the early ones. PMID: 32980026 [PubMed - in process]
