| Opis: | Introduction: The contextual characteristics of Puerto Rico, prior to the arrival of this virus, outlined a very challenging political, economic and social landscape. From them, the responses given by the government once the state of emergency was declared in the Archipelago were framed. Therefore, a brief critical reflection was made, based on the theoretical contributions of the syndemic health concept and a human rights approach. Objective: To describe the social policies that tried to respond to the health emergency caused by CoVID-19 in Puerto Rico and to assess their relationship with a holistic, health and human rights approach. Conclusion: There is an urgency of applying a human rights approach in the management of this emergency to guarantee conditions of greater justice and equity to all people who have been affected by COVID-19. Therefore, some recommendations are made to the role of the social work profession in Puerto Rico. |
