Contributions of Chemistry to Low Contact Economy at the Time of COVID-19

The SARS-CoV-2 virus, also known as Corona, has infected millions of people worldwide and part of them developed COVID-19 and cured themselves But unfortunately, another part of those infected died In Brazil, tens of thousands of deaths have already been accounted in 2020 The speed and global spread of the coronavirus has caused a major change in people's behavior and is leading the world towards a type of low contact economy, or contactless economy (auto-isolation), in which the flow of people and business between the producer and the consumer is carried out remotely in order to restrict and prevent personal interactions that can promote the transmission of the virus Chemistry is playing a very important role in easing or avoiding contact between people with the development of products and materials that could slow the progress of SARS-CoV-2
