There has been controversy and significant concern regarding endoscopic evaluation of patients in the office, especially nasal endoscopy and flexible laryngoscopy, since performing these procedures puts one in direct contact with the virus as it resides primarily in nose and nasopharynx. To decrease nasal endoscopy procedures and minimize risk, organizations such as the American Rhinologic Society (ARS) should consider guidelines examining when it is appropriate to go straight to CT in select cases of possible COVID-19 now and in the future. In-Office CT sinus will continue to play an important role as a point of service procedure in lieu of nasal endoscopy in patients with COVID-19 or suspected thereof. This makes nasal endoscopy and other in-office rhinologic procedures a concern for the Otolaryngologist with increased risk for infection.	./cache/cord-280848-z0sbztkw.txt	./txt/cord-280848-z0sbztkw.txt
