The outbreak was initially confined to Wuhan City, but then spread outside Chinese borders. On 31 January 2020, the first case was declared in Spain. On 11 March 2020, The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. On 16 March 2020, there were 139 countries affected. In this situation, the Scientific Societies SEMICYUC and SEEIUC have decided to draw up this Contingency Plan to guide the response of the Intensive Care Services. The objectives of this plan are to estimate the magnitude of the problem and identify the necessary human and material resources. This is to provide the Spanish Intensive Medicine Services with a tool to programme optimal response strategies.8 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Sociedad Española de Medicina Intensiva, Crítica y Unidades Coronarias (SEMICYUC), 2020http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/COVID-19BetacoronavirusUnitats de cures intensivesCOVID-19BetacoronavirusIntensive care unitsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7137932026-01-19info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess32336551
