JIMENEZ FLORES, Javier  e  ROMAN MAESTRE, Begoña. Parental Access to Neonatal Intensive Care Units in times of pandemic. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2020, n.50, pp.167-188.  Epub 23-Nov-2020. ISSN 1886-5887.

The arrival of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19 disease) in Spain has also had an impact on parental access to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU). At the beginning of the pandemic, measures were taken that, based on public health criteria, and were considered necessary. As scientific knowledge about COVID-19 advanced, and based on the new data obtained, the measures initially established began to be adapted. However, we believe that the adaptation of some of these protocols, specifically that of parental access to NICU, has not been the ideal one from the bioethical point of view and in the best interest of the minor. Throughout this article we expose these insufficiencies.
