In our published review, we presented the possible hazardous implications of an asymptomatic undetected COVID-19 infection in surgical patients, suggesting a recommendation for a global consideration of sampling all patients before surgical treatment. Accordingly, the largest recent study published analyzed 1128 patients who had an operation during the current pandemic, with COVID-19 infection diagnosed within 7 days before or 30 days after surgery [1] . In view of the progress in diagnostic tests and the presented perilous outcomes of infected COVID-19 surgical patients, routine preoperative screening should be considered, focusing on patient and staff safety.	./cache/cord-254421-0lvy15q2.txt	./txt/cord-254421-0lvy15q2.txt
