cord-025176-f0frlpwh	Coimbra, Raul	Resuming elective surgical services in times of COVID-19 infection	2020-05-19		.txt	text/plain	2884	142	41	15 Most recommendations from public health officials have suggested that a steady decrease in the number of new COVID-19 cases over a period of 14 days (decreased incidence), associated with a similar trend in hospital and ICU admission, is necessary to consider resuming elective surgery (box 1). However, it is important that a staged system be implemented with partial reopening followed by interval full reassessment of the system, as the incidence of COVID-19 infection may have decreased further, allowing the opening of more operating rooms, increasing the overall number of procedures performed. After a functional period in stage 1, a reassessment of the COVID-19 infection in the community and in the hospital should occur to determine if adding operating room capacity and increasing the number of surgical cases is warranted.	./cache/cord-025176-f0frlpwh.txt	./txt/cord-025176-f0frlpwh.txt
