In 2019, a new form of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease COVID-19, appeared. Given the development of a pandemic that has affected the entire world, the focus is on protecting human health. Since the disease is transmitted by droplets, ie by direct contact, it was necessary to focus on limiting social contacts. Certainly the most difficult situation is in health care institutions, given that at the same time it is necessary to provide health care and care to patients, but at the same time protect those who are not infected and combat the penetration of COVID-19 among health professionals. Also, when conducting emergency medical care outside the hospital, it is necessary to follow certain guidelines. In this context, guidelines on recommendations for emergency medical staff, procedures with equipment and procedures with patients have been adopted. The guidelines vary from country to country, and a comparative analysis of the Republic of Croatia and France shows that the recommendations relate primarily to the protection of healthcare professionals and the use of protective equipment, adequate access to potentially infected patients, transportation, testing and then hospitalization if it is necessary. The Master of Nursing is in charge of implementing all prescribed measures within the framework of his own business in order to prevent the spread of infection and combat pandemics.
