The novel coronavirus 19 SARS-CoV2 caused a change in the practice of Otolaryngology around the globe. The high viral load in the nasal cavity, nasopharynx and airway subjects Otolaryngologists to a high risk of catching the virus during aerosol generating procedures. After the first outbreak wave has subsided, many teams are now discussing how our 'new normal' practice will look. We share our guidelines on restarting elective clinical work in order to create a safe environment for patients and staff in a Pediatric Otolaryngology outpatient clinic.
新型冠状病毒19（SARS-CoV2）导致了全球耳鼻喉科诊疗实践的改变。鼻腔、鼻咽部和气道中的高病毒载量使耳鼻喉科医生在进行气溶胶生成操作时面临感染病毒的高风险。在第一波疫情爆发平息后，许多团队现在正在讨论我们的“新常态”诊疗实践会是什么样子。我们分享关于重启择期临床工作的指南，以便在儿科耳鼻喉科门诊为患者和工作人员创造一个安全的环境。
