MARKS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON FORENSIC MEDICINE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

ABSTRACT

Since the end of 2019, humanity has been facing a pandemic generated by the SARS-COV-2 virus, which is felt in most functioning domains. Thus, the goal is to see how much forensic medicine has been affected by this virus and how it has reacted to this pandemic, given the fact that this domain can be of key importance in the fight against COVID-19. A number of 7 articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were thus analysed, initially starting from a number of 414 articles of so, searched in the PubMed database. The analysis of the specialized literature shows us that the number of autopsies performed, as well as of the publications in this sense is a low one.
