Abstract

The main ethical issues in the management and safety of public health care are: distributive justice and non-abandonment. The COVID-19 pandemic raises difficult ethical questions for our health care system. Perhaps the most difficult is how to equally distribute scarce resources, and determine who lives and who dies.
