Resumen

El pasado 2019, un nuevo coronavirus emergió en la localidad china de Wuhan. Meses después, la Organización Mundial de la Salud declaró su brote como pandemia. Tras ello, múltiples estrategias han sido desplegadas para lidiar con su propagación, una de ellas es la cuarentena. Así, con la pandemia de SARS-CoV-2 se ha vuelto a considerar el debate sobre si es moral o no dicha medida. En este artículo se procurará responder a la pregunta desde un enfoque humanista secular y aplicando el método de bioética empírica denominado contribuciones empíricas paso a paso.
