Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019) is a viral infection which is rapidly
spreading on a global scale and causing a severe acute respiratory syndrome that
affects today about four and a half million registered cases of people around the
world. The aim of this narrative review is to provide an urgent guidance for the
doctors who take care of these patients. Recommendations contained in this
protocol are based on limited, non-definitive, evidence and experience-based
opinions about patients with low and medium intensity of care. A short guidance
on the management of COVID-19 is provided for an extensive use in different
hospital settings. The evidence-based knowledge of COVID-19 is rapidly evolving,
and we hope that, in the near future, a definitive and most efficacious treatment
will be available including a specific vaccine for SARS-CoV-2.
