Title: Early experience with universal preprocedural testing for SARS-CoV-2 in a relatively low-prevalence area Cord-id: rex4jflb Document date: 2020_8_3
ID: rex4jflb
Snippet: We implemented universal severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing of patients undergoing surgical procedures as a means to conserve personal protective equipment (PPE). The rate of asymptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was <0.5%, which suggests that early local public health interventions were successful. Although our protocol was resource intensive, it prevented exposures to healthcare team members.
