Up to 20% of health care personnel (HCP) were found
to be infected with coronavirus disease (COVID-19)1
in the outbreak in northern Italy.2 Recommendations on patient and HCP protection have been made, such as postponing
procedures, triage, use of personal protective equipment
(PPE), and creation of differentiated in-hospital pathways.3,4
However, several barriers against the adoption of these strategies exist, including cultural factors and shortages of medical
resources; therefore, there are few reports of real-world experiences and outcomes with their adoption.5
The aim of this survey was to investigate the burden of
COVID-19 on endoscopic activity in a high-risk area of
COVID-19 outbreak, approaches to evaluating patients,
adoption and compliance of HCP with protective measures,
and initial possible viral transmission outcomes from
endoscopy units within a large, community-based setting
(both between patients and HCP and between HCP).
