Paper Summary

A surgical department successfully prevented the spread of COVID-19 among healthcare workers by implementing strict measures. They postponed non-urgent surgeries and sent staff to a specialized COVID-19 screening center. By doing this, they managed to care for COVID-19 patients without any healthcare worker infections. This approach helped maintain essential surgical services and kept the department functioning effectively during the pandemic.
