Abstract

Novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), first appeared in the end of December 2019 in Wuhan city, China, spread around the world rapidly and became a pandemic. This disease, which involves both the upper and lower respiratory tract, is a serious global problem due to its long incubation period, highly asymptomatic carrier rates and high risk of contamination of the virus. In addition, the presence of high viral volume in the nasopharynx and oropharynx and the spread of the virus by droplets make a serious risk to healthcare staffs who are in contact with these areas. For all these reasons, it is vital to protect health care workers at risk and to use personal protective equipment correctly and effectively. In this article, precautions for the evaluation of ear nose and throat patients during the COVID-19 pandemic are presented.
