Concept
The Distant and Staged Transition Back to Pre-COVID-19 Era Practices
- Until a vaccine is readily available and widely adopted, a transition back to normalcy cannot be started
- As outpatient facilities begin to reopen to a fuller extent and more in person appointments become common practice, the guidelines outlined in Figure 1 should still be followed, however, lower risk individuals may be seen in person
- An example of the extent of the reopening includes more intervention with patients who are considered in the Tier 2 risk in Figure 1 as they present possible issues down the line which could emerge later with more in person intervention and examination
- Additionally, while more elective surgeries may be performed, there will be vast competition for these types of surgeries everywhere as all surgical departments will be providing more elective procedures
