The relationship between health professionals and patients in time of the Covid-19

The Pandemic situation due to COVID-19 has meant an organizational revolution in all state structures affecting on a small scale the most intimate aspects of personal relationships. It is our duty to propose a series of reflections and ethical conflicts that are appearing in this exceptional situation. Accessibility to health centers, hospitals and geriatric residences have also been restricted, affecting the most vulnerable people, with confusing messages for the population causing situations of abandonment in some cases. Health professionals in this situation of health crisis ask ourselves a series of questions that, from ethics, do not always have a clear and unique answer, but they do help us to critical reflection with the aim to promote changes that favour care focused on the person. Perhaps it is time to adapt to a different reality in our usual clinical practice, but this do not lead us to distance and fear.
