This special article introduces clinical practice guidelines to prevent secondary transmission of COVID-19 within hemodialysis facilities, which were developed to protect patients, healthcare workers, and caregivers from this highly transmissible virus. The areas of infection control covered by these guidelines include standard precautions, performing dialysis therapy for confirmed or suspected cases, performing cohort isolation for contact patients, and disease monitoring and contact surveillance. COVID-19 clinical practice guidelines for HD facilities were developed by a joint committee comprised of members from the Korean Society of Nephrology, the Korean Society of Dialysis Therapy, and the Korean Center for Disease Control & Prevention.	./cache/cord-280089-x8fs34d7.txt	./txt/cord-280089-x8fs34d7.txt
