As evidências atuais indicam que o vírus causador da doença COVID-19 é transmitido através de gotículas respiratórias ou por contato. A transmissão por contato ocorre quando as mãos contaminadas tocam a mucosa da boca, nariz ou olhos. O vírus também pode ser transferido de uma superfície... para outra através das mãos contaminadas, o que facilita a transmissão por contato indireto. Consequentemente, a higienização das mãos é extremamente importante para evitar a disseminação do vírus causador da doença COVID-19.

The article is a scoping review that explores the challenges in diagnosing asthma in children in three sub-Saharan African countries: Nigeria, South Africa, and Uganda. It identifies key barriers, such as a lack of community awareness, inadequate healthcare access, limited diagnostic tools like spir...ometry, and insufficient knowledge among healthcare workers. The review also highlights the stigma associated with asthma and the absence of relevant diagnostic guidelines. Solutions proposed include community education, development and adherence to diagnostic guidelines, and strengthening healthcare systems. The study aims to inform policymakers and healthcare providers to improve asthma diagnosis and care for children in these regions.
