The quick spread of the COVID-19 disease has generated the establishment of coordination mechanisms, control and lengthy actions by actors and/or agents, which has triggered border barriers between communities and people to curb the contagion. This situation has also produced fear of infection and a survival instinct that has inevitably altered the perception of the other, which is viewed with mistrust when configuring itself as a potentially infectious person; in extreme cases there is even discrimination or exclusion.
