Suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients are managed in negative pressure, single-bedded rooms in the acute care hospital. Due to geographical reasons, the mean (SD) code blue response time to the acute and community care wards were 3.28 (1.76) and 6.67 (2.06) minutes, respectively. In simulations, we adhered to hospital and COVID-19 guidelines of full PPE (including N95 mask or powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR), gown, gloves, goggles and face shield or visor) 2 . Frequent training and simulation sessions including PPE familiarization minimizes delays in resuscitation, reduces risk of viral transmission, enhances communication, teamwork and coordination, and allows latent threats identification and workflow refinement.	./cache/cord-272182-5lunidrs.txt	./txt/cord-272182-5lunidrs.txt
