Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has rapidly
swept across the world since its identification in December 2019. Otolaryngologists
are at unique risk due to the close contact with mucus membranes of the upper respiratory
tract and have been among the most affected healthcare workers in Wuhan, China. We
present information on COVID-19 management relevant to otolaryngologists on the frontlines
of this pandemic and provide preliminary guidance based on practices implemented in
China and other countries and practical strategies deployed at Stanford University.
