    Document: One of the Israel's medical centers has reported the use of TMS to more effectively care for the 12 Israeli COVID-19 patients received from the cruise ship that was quarantined in Japan for several weeks. [1, 48] The various TMS platforms and modalities tested include remote patient examination without medical staff presence, robotic telemedicine cart equipped with a camera, screen and medical equipment controlled by doctors and nurses, and remote monitoring using a thermometer, blood pressure instruments and pulse oximetry, without additional human presence. [48] Approximately 1700 health-care personnel have been reported infected with COVID-19 in China and 14.8% have been classified as severe or critically ill, with a total of 5 associated deaths. [49] Fortunately, infection rates appear to be lower than the 2002-2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak where 30% of infections occurred in health-care workers; furthermore, the case fatality rate among health-care workers for SARS was 11% and with COVID-19 it is 0.3%. [50] COVID-19 is demonstrating an estimated reproduction number of 2.2, which signifies that, on average, every patient with COVID-19 will infect just over 2 other individuals. [51, 52] Until the reproduction number is below 1, the pandemic will continue to escalate unless transmission strategies (i.e., containment or technological innovations like TMS) prevail.
