Objective:

The objective is to design a sanitary standard form for COVID-19 to be implemented on each point of entry of the countries members of PROSUR and design the requirements for its application.

Summary:

The project is developed in four components: 1) Extensive review of the evidence on the utility of the entry forms to reduce the transmission of SARS-Cov2. Analysis of the sensitivity and specificity of the questions in case of COVID-19 and analysis of the evidence from others communicable diseases and/or screenings developed. 2) Mapping and analysis of the existing forms/declarations in countries members of PROSUR, the region and the world. Analysis of current procedures and algorithms for entrance in countries members of PROSUR, the region and the world. 3) Design and definition of the functions of a standard form for PROSUR. 4) Definition of a standard procedure related to the form. Design of an operative algorithm for countries members of PROSUR.
