Since no telemedicine program can be created suddenly, an alternative adopted by different patients is to use the instant messaging applications from social media. Similarly, such an alternative helps to rule out SARS-CoV-2 symptoms quickly and avoid long lines in hospitals and emergency care, which is really great to reduce the virus spreading. Rather than expected, all the recommendations regarding COVID-19 in-person care places, these programs enable us to refer only patients with oral lesions of greater severity and to high-risk patients to triage lines of COVID-19 and even allows patients to schedule a medical consultation by video. ./cache/cord-291414-kyi8tfqd.txt ./txt/cord-291414-kyi8tfqd.txt
