    Document: COVID-19 caused many countries to stop their elective procedures to allow preservation of resources for COVID-19 care.

The first ever COVID-specific checklist for surgical consent ‘COVID times—surgical consent checklist’ is introduced. This checklist enables the surgeon to ensure that a discussion detailing the impact of COVID-19 on surgical services is made. It also acts as a documentation of the discussions carried out during the consenting process.
