In the following document recommendations taken from various expert panels are given to otolaryngologist to take in consideration when organizing an outpatient clinic, performing surgical and non surgical procedures during this pandemic.
It’s important to highlight this is a rapidly evolving situation therefore updates will be done according to the pandemic stage we face.
