Abstract The purpose of this reflection is to include ethical principles in the discussion on resource allocation in times of covid-19. This study presents recent news and documents on the use of resources in the pandemic and principles such as justice, autonomy and beneficence. The comprehension that all human beings are worthy of respect, solidarity and protection can help pave the way for accelerating pandemic control for all.
