Intervention(s):

Experimental group: Additional to the corresponding protective equipment, they will perform intranasal and oral disinfection with 0.0015%, Neutral Electrolyzed Water (SES). Intranasal disinfection consists of applying four shots of SES in each nostril (approximately 0.4 mL in each nostril), 3 times a day; Oral disinfection will be with mouthwashes that will be performed 3 times a day, with 10 mL of SES, for 60 seconds each. Both procedures will be performed during 4 weeks, which is the study follow-up period. Control group: Will wear the corresponding protective equipment, without performing oral / intranasal disinfection. Protective equipment: All health professionals enrolled in the study belong to the first line of care for patients with COVID-19 and will wear the corresponding protective equipment, being a surgical uniform, N95 mask, eye-sealing glasses and plastic wallet, disposable cap, gloves made of latex, rubber footwear for hospital use, disposable shoe covers. Additionally, health professionals from the third level of care will wear a full protective mask, Dermacare® overalls with 70 / polyethylene and 30 / polypropylene zipper with integrated hood with elastic cuffs and ankle, double disposable boot covers and double latex gloves. Likewise, frequent hand washing with liquid soap with 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and disinfection with a hand sanitizer solution with 0.05% chlorhexidine gluconate and 60-80% ethyl alcohol, and disinfection of secondary uniform and footwear with 80% ethyl alcohol and bath at the end of the working day, were performed.
