The rapidly increasing number of COVID-19-infected patients and evidence of human-to-human transmission even within the asymptomatic incubation period prompted the attention of the entire world. The field of dermatology and procedural dermatology is not exempt from this global issue. We cannot deny the fact that this situation will have a lasting impact on the health-seeking behaviors of our patients. It is necessary for dermatologists and dermatologic surgeons to be aware of the potential risks and precautions when re-emerging their practices after COVID-19.
COVID-19 感染患者数量迅速增加,且无症状潜伏期内存在人际传播的证据,这引起了全球的关注。皮肤病学和皮肤科手术领域也不能幸免这一全球性问题。我们不能否认,这种情况将对患者的就医行为产生持久影响。皮肤科医生和皮肤科外科医生在 COVID-19 后重新开展他们的实践时,必须意识到潜在的风险和预防措施。
