What The Study Did:
Health care workers who come in close contact with a patient’s head and neck are particularly at risk for developing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) because of the rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV-2) through respiratory droplets. This article provides safety recommendations for these health care workers regarding exams and surgical procedures based on a review of the literature and the experiences of physicians with firsthand knowledge of safety procedures during this pandemic.
