On March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency in response to
the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Subsequently, states enacted
stay-at-home orders to slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes
COVID-19, and reduce the burden on the U.S. health care system. CDC* and the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)(?) recommended that health care
systems prioritize urgent visits and delay elective care to mitigate the spread
of COVID-19 in health care settings. By May 2020, national syndromic surveillance
data found that emergency department (ED) visits had declined 42% during the
early months of the pandemic (1). This report describes trends in ED visits for
three acute life-threatening health conditions (myocardial infarction [MI, also
known as heart attack], stroke, and hyperglycemic crisis), immediately before and
after declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic as a national emergency. These
conditions represent acute events that always necessitate immediate emergency
care, even during a public health emergency such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In the
10 weeks following the emergency declaration (March 15-May 23, 2020), ED visits
declined 23% for MI, 20% for stroke, and 10% for hyperglycemic crisis, compared
with the preceding 10-week period (January 5-March 14, 2020). EDs play a critical
role in diagnosing and treating life-threatening conditions that might result in
serious disability or death. Persons experiencing signs or symptoms of serious
illness, such as severe chest pain, sudden or partial loss of motor function,
altered mental state, signs of extreme hyperglycemia, or other life-threatening
issues, should seek immediate emergency care, regardless of the pandemic. Clear,
frequent, highly visible communication from public health and health care
professionals is needed to reinforce the importance of timely care for medical
emergencies and to assure the public that EDs are implementing infection
prevention and control guidelines that help ensure the safety of their patients
and health care personnel.
