La SECOT ha realizado un documento en español que recoge las recomendaciones nacionales e internacionales frente a la pandemia del COVID-19 con el fin de proteger la salud de los pacientes y de todo el personal sanitario en los servicios de Cirugía Ortopédica
y Traumatología.

Los dolores y traumatismos del aparato locomotor generan casi la mitad de las consultas en los centros de salud y hospitales.
Durante la situación especial creada por la pandemia COVID 19 deberíamos evitar en la medida de lo posible sobrecargar un sistema sanitario ya de por si saturado.
Podemos ayudar y mucho con nuestro comportamiento a mantener los recursos sanitarios operativos.

This decision was taken in the interest of all and serves the safety and good health of delegates, faculties, exhibitors, organisers, service providers.
