RESUMEN
Resumen Ante la pandemia COVID 19, declarada en marzo de 2020 por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), desde la Asociación Colombiana de Hematología y Oncología (ACHO) hemos venido emitiendo comunicaciones destinadas a orientar a los profesionales de la salud implicados en el tratamiento de pacientes hematológicos y oncológicos. Consideramos importante realizar una nueva actualización dada la fase de mitigación de la pandemia que actualmente estamos enfrentando y ante el planteamiento gubernamental de desdescalonamiento progresivo, de la cuarentena. Estas recomendaciones no pretenden imponer una conducta única pues entendemos que cada caso es particular y debe actuarse individualizando a cada situación específica. Están basadas en documentos emitidos por asociaciones científicas oncológicas y hematológicas reconocidas y son susceptibles de sufrir modificaciones a medida que se disponga de mayor información.
ABSTRACT
Abstract In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, declared in March 2020 by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Colombian Association of Hematology and Oncology (ACHO) has been issuing communications aimed at providing guidance to health professionals involved in the treatment of hematological and oncological patients. Considering the pandemic mitigation phase we are currently facing, and the government's approach to progressively tapering-off the quarantine, we deem it important to release a new update. These recommendations are not intended to impose a single conduct, since we understand that each case has particular characteristics and therefore it must be acted upon by individualizing each specific situation. The recommendations are based on documents issued by well-known cancer and hematological scientific associations, and are subject to change as more information becomes available.
