Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious disease caused by the novel virus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2. The first case developed in December, 2019 in Wuhan, China; several months later, COVID-19 has become pandemic, and there is no end in sight. This disaster is also causing serious health problems in the area of cardiovascular intervention. In response, the Korean Society of Interventional Cardiology formed a COVID-19 task force to develop practice guidelines. This special article introduces clinical practice guidelines to prevent secondary transmission of COVID-19 within facilities; the guidelines were developed to protect patients and healthcare workers from this highly contagious virus. We hope these guidelines help healthcare workers and cardiovascular disease patients around the world cope with the COVID-19 pandemic.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是一种由新型严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2引起的高传染性疾病。首例病例于2019年12月在中国武汉出现;几个月后,COVID-19已成为大流行病,且尚无结束迹象。这场灾难也在心血管介入领域引发了严重的健康问题。作为回应,韩国介入心脏病学会成立了COVID-19特别工作组以制定实践指南。这篇专题文章介绍了预防COVID-19在医疗机构内二次传播的临床实践指南;制定这些指南是为了保护患者和医护人员免受这种高传染性病毒的侵害。我们希望这些指南能帮助世界各地的医护人员和心血管疾病患者应对COVID-19大流行。
