Since SARS-CoV-2 may be transmitted through aerosols 2 , it is critical to reexamine recommended protective measures for dermatologic surgery. The use of fitted respirator or surgical masks and smoke evacuators was recommended to minimize the infectious, inhalation, chemical and mutagenic risks of surgical smoke prior to COVID-19 1 . The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends N95 respirator use for healthcare workers participating in aerosol-generating procedures (AGP) 3 . In an intubation simulation 5 , secretions were recovered from exposed skin (i.e. neck and ears) and hair of healthcare providers following two coughing episodes despite use of N95 respirators, eye protection, gowns, and gloves, suggesting that use of standard PPE is likely insufficient.	./cache/cord-265921-0sb59rmm.txt	./txt/cord-265921-0sb59rmm.txt
