MAESTRE NARANJO, María Ascensión et al. Performance Procedure of Occupational Risks Prevention for the Attention to Suspected Cases of Coronavirus Respiratory Disease MERS-CoV: in relation to a case. Med. segur. trab. [online]. 2017, vol.63, n.247, pp.93-102. ISSN 1989-7790.

After the first imported case in Spain of a human coronavirus infection (MERs- CoV) admitted to the Puerta de Hierro Universitary Hospital of Majadahonda (HUPHM, Madrid) an action procedure was developed in order to care for suspected cases of respiratory diseases that may cause an international outbreak. This procedure is activated in the hospital as soon as the suspicion of the disease arises. Action measures are described when a patient with these characteristics is admitted, ensuring both assistance quality and workers’ health protection. From the Occupational Risk Prevention Service (SPRL in Spanish) a registration of the workers involved is taken, as well as a study of contacts and their follow-up. This provides information and formation to the workers about the risks considering the new causal agent and the use of the appropriate protective equipment, the assessment of particular sensitive workers, explaining the protocol’s activation and implementation in the different situations it has been needed.
