According to our recent experience, we share a series of measures to prevent the nosocomial transmission of the disease and to reduce the risk of contamination for patients, caregivers and administrative staff. The triaging system screens patients through temperature measurements, and a questionnaire about upper respiratory symptoms, fever, myalgia and anosmia, domicile or travelling in hot areas, and contact history with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 patients within the past 14 days. Patients who meet one of these criteria are addressed to a separate controlled circuit to test for COVID-19 positivity. In our practice, patients with an urgent surgical condition (such as retinal detachment, endophthalmitis, open globe trauma and sight-threatening uncontrolled ocular pressure) are first screened for COVID-19.
