Objective: Gather information about an important aspect of SARS-CoV-2 disease, regard to palliative care. Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 disease started by the ending of 2019 in Wuhan-China and given the lack of a specific treatment, the role of palliative care in SARS-CoV-2 infection has been drawn to the spotlight. Method: A systematic review was carried out between June and October of 2020. A total of 25 articles were totally reviewed. Results: The management of symptoms, is the main objective of palliative care in SARS-CoV-2. We find ourselves with the interrogant of when to start palliative care and with what medications and measures it is preferred to do so. Discussion: As SARS-CoV-2 currently does not have a curative treatment, palliative care is the centerpiece of its management. Conclusion: Palliative care should be considered as a protocol in any disease with no curative treatment at the moment, just like SARS-CoV-2.
