Abstract:
The establishment of regulatory measures and restrictions to take control of the COVID-19 pandemic generated uncertainty and a request for information among the population. To address this demand, the Public Health Department (DGSPCC) of the Government of La Rioja (Spain) created a multidisciplinary work group. This group worked in a coordinated multidisciplinary manner to respond to general inquiries and doubts, generate risk assessments of multitudinous events, and create guides and summaries of preventive measures. Every event was assessed individually and, based on the corresponding risk assignment, a recommendation for its execution or the need for additional measures was issued. In any case, citizens were encouraged to behave cautiously to avoid potential risks of spreading the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Our goal was to report a multidisciplinary collaborative experience in the area of public health.
