Con la llegada del covid-19 a nuestro país el 6 de marzo de 2020 y con la declaratoria de parte de la OMS de la enfermedad generada por este virus como pandemia el pasado 11 de marzo, en el Perú se emitieron diversas disposiciones que tenían como propósito prevenir o reducir el contagio de esta enfermedad.
Entre dichas medidas y la más drástica, qué duda cabe, fue la declaratoria de emergencia nacional y la disposición del aislamiento social obligatorio (cuarentena), declarado a través del Decreto Supremo 044-2020-PCM, entrando en vigencia a partir del 16 de marzo de 2020, el cual se encuentra vigente, pero de manera focalizada.

Así pues, en un contexto de crisis sanitaria como en el que nos encontramos, los empleadores deben de implementar medidas adicionales o específicas en materia de seguridad y salud en el trabajo, destinadas a la prevención y protección de los trabajadores frente a este nuevo factor biológico, covid-19, con la finalidad de reducir los riesgos profesionales que pudieran desprenderse del mismo[1].
