The 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic originated in Wuhan, China
and spread rapidly worldwide, leading the World Health Organization to declare an
official global COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. In Hong Kong, clinicians and
other healthcare personnel collaborated closely to combat the outbreak of
COVID-19 and minimize the cross-transmission of disease among hospital staff
members. In the field of otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery (OHNS) and its
various subspecialties, contingency plans were required for patient bookings in
outpatient clinics, surgeries in operating rooms, protocols in wards and other
services. Infected patients may shed severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) particles into their environments via body secretions.
Therefore, otolaryngologists and other healthcare personnel in this specialty
face a high risk of contracting COVID-19 and must remain vigilant when performing
examinations and procedures involving the nose and throat. In this article, we
share our experiences of the planning and logistics undertaken to provide safe
and efficient OHNS practices over the last 2?months, during the COVID-19
pandemic. We hope that our experiences will serve as pearls for otolaryngologists
and other healthcare personnel working in institutes that serve large numbers of
patients every day, particularly with regard to the sharing of clinical and
administrative tasks during the COVID-19 pandemic.
