https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ on 2020/04/09). Several strategies have been designed to confront the extreme pressure on the healthcare system and professionals because of the uncertainty in validity of diagnostic tests and the efficacy of suggested treatments, limited number of intensive care units, lack or shortage of the necessary preventive and therapeutic medication, material and equipment, the unexpected community responses to the governmental regulations and socioeconomic instabilities.
