Introduction: COVID-19 disease is an acute viral pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2. Its main means of transmission is from person to person through respiratory droplets. It presents as a febrile condition with respiratory symptoms and high transmissibility rate. There is no vaccine, so the clinical suspicion and immediate isolation of the patient are essential Objective: The purpose of this work is to report the first confirmed case of COVID-19 disease in Córdoba (Argentina), highlighting telemedicine as a novel form of outpatient management. Methodology: We describe the first confirmed case of COVID-19 disease in Córdoba (Argentina), which presented in a patient without comorbidities in good clinical condition, and therefore ambulatory management using telemedicine was decided, which was satisfactory. Results: Outpatient management using telemedicine turned out to be optimal, avoiding the use of beds and the transmission of the virus within the hospital through management at home. Conclusion: Outpatient management of selected patients avoids virus transmission within the hospital and saturation of beds. Telemedicine is an effective and novel strategy for this situation.
