As of February 26, a total of 78 191 patients were diagnosed and 2 718 died in our country. At present and in the future, COVID-19 patients will inevitably appear in those who need surgery, surgical care and related personnel have to protect themselves while treating patients, and cross-infection of medical care due to surgery should be avoided.
