BASTIDAS PACHECO, Gilberto Antonio  and  BASTIDAS DELGADO, Daniel Alejandro. Applicability in South America of SARS-CoV-2 infection progression scenarios. CES Med. [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.spe, pp.1-7.  Epub Aug 31, 2021. ISSN 0120-8705.  https://doi.org/10.21615/cesmedicina.34.covid-19.1.

The SARS-CoV-2 epidemic outbreak soon developed into an international public health emergency that rapidly progressed to a pandemic with severe impact on the health and economies of affected countries. The objective of this paper is to describe the epidemiological scenarios of the progression of the infection defined and applicable as initial frameworks of the dynamics of transmission of the disease to South America, saving its population particularities, in the fight to control the pandemic. This is a review of the specialized literature. The analysis of the information results in two sections: epidemiological models in infections and, scenarios of progression of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. It is concluded that the epidemiological scenarios of progression of the infection in some regions can be transposed to others as a framework for the control of the pandemic, saving the particularities of each population in terms of individual, cultural, economic and health characteristics.

Keywords : Coronavirus; COVID-19; Epidemiological scenarios; Pandemic, control; South America.
