Abstract

The purpose of this review was to understand the level of vulnerability of health professionals to the contamination of COVID-19. Data were collected in April 2020, in 5 databases (Science Direct, LILACS, SciElo, PubMed and BVS), and systematized through PRISMA. Initially, about 141 articles of these were found, 4 were used for the final analysis. The results found indicate that there are health professionals who are vulnerable to contamination during work activities because they lack personal protective equipment and / or use these resources inappropriately. The protection of professionals must be a priority due to the risk they face.
