Abstract
In response to the kind letter from Joaquín Cabezas et al., we agree that medical care in the COVID era has radically changed and using new mechanisms in the care of different diseases is undoubtedly now a priority to avoid contagion of both the patient and the medical staff. Although a vaccine could protect the population, there are still many questions to answer. The model we use for the care of patients with a diagnosis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Mexico showed great benefits, as in other studies.
