新型冠状病毒SARS-CoV-2是一种阳性单链RNA病毒，它可以立即翻译并整合到宿主细胞中，与自身的RNA信使一起，促进细胞内的复制和传染性。该疾病的迅速发展给全世界带来了真实的挑战。由于超出了通常的公民保健能力，卫生专业人员和政府都在努力。减少和减缓这一流行病蔓延的最重要战略之一是社会距离措施;这就是远程医疗可以帮助的地方，并为医疗保健系统提供支持，特别是在公共卫生，预防和临床实践领域，就像它在其他部门所做的那样。远程医疗将便利，低成本，利用互联网和相关技术，随时获得与卫生有关的信息和通信。在冠状病毒疫情期间，远程医疗一直是医生减缓冠状病毒传播的第一道防线，保持社交距离，并通过电话或视频会议为轻度患者提供服务，以集中个人护理，并将有限的物资提供给最紧急的病例。(C)2020作者（S）出版社：Elsevier Espana，S.L.U.
The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is a positive single-stranded RNA virus that can be immediately translated and integrated into the host cell with its own RNA messenger, facilitating replication inside the cell and infectivity. The rapid progression of the disease presents a real challenge for the whole world. As the usual capacity for citizen care is exceeded, health professionals and governments struggle. One of the most important strategies to reduce and mitigate the advance of the epidemic are social distance measures; this is where telemedicine can help, and provide support to the healthcare systems, especially in the areas of public health, prevention and clinical practices, just as it is doing in others sectors.Telemedicine connects the convenience, low cost, and ready accessibility of health-related information and communication using the Internet and associated technologies. Telemedicine during the coronavirus epidemic has been the doctors' first line of defense to slow the spread of the coronavirus, keeping social distancing and providing services by phone or videoconferencing for mild to focus personal care and limited supplies to the most urgent cases.
