Abstract : SARS-CoV-2, discovered for the first time in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, is a new viral strain that has never been seen in humans. It can be spread by air, direct and indirect contact, but droplets are the most common mode of transmission. It, like the other coronaviruses in the same family, can cause mild flu-like symptoms like a cold, sore throat, cough, and fever, as well as more serious symptoms like pneumonia and breathing problems, and even death. Since no effective specific drug therapy or vaccine capable of reducing the spread of this pathogen has yet to be discovered, it is critical to find ways to avoid the spread of this infection. The purpose of our research was to provide a protocol to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infection in light of the limited information related to this coronavirus. In detail, we analyzed and searched targeted evidence-based guidelines issued in the various countries affected by this epidemic up till now. In addition, we analyzed the recommendations for the prevention and control of other epidemics caused by other pathogens belonging to the same family of coronaviruses or others that present the same mechanisms of transmission. The responsible authorities have imposed general organizational steps for the containment and management of the COVID-19 epidemiological emergency in order to ensure an effective and proportionate management of the epidemiological situation's evolution. The aim of the SARS-CoV-2 prevention and safety organizational initiatives is to reduce the risk of infection. To this end, precautions must be taken at work to prevent new infections or the spread of the virus where it already exists. Furthermore, environmental controls are in place to reduce the risk of SARSCoV- 2 transmission to individuals through interaction with infected people, materials, equipment, or contaminated surfaces.
