Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease, caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-COV-2). This disease has been raising international public health concerns since its recent outbreak in December 2019. As the virus is easily transmitted by respiratory droplets, all hospital departments needed to change their practices in an attempt to control the spread of this virus. Burn units and clinics are particularly affected by this pandemic because of the larger risk of contamination for both patients and caregivers. Furthermore, cross-clinical aspects especially pain management and complications such as coagulopathy might be caused by both extensive burns and COVID-19 infections, which makes the management of these patients particularly challenging. That's why we covered both main aspects in this review. In addition, we present briefly a synthesis of guidelines from several entities to help manage the health crisis and provide optimal care for all burn patients during this pandemic.
2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）是一种由新型冠状病毒（SARS-CoV-2）引起的呼吸道疾病。自2019年12月近期爆发以来，这种疾病一直引起国际公共卫生关注。由于该病毒易于通过呼吸道飞沫传播，所有医院科室都需要改变其做法，以试图控制这种病毒的传播。烧伤科和诊所尤其受到这场大流行的影响，因为患者和护理人员面临的污染风险更大。此外，广泛烧伤和COVID-19感染都可能导致跨临床问题，尤其是疼痛管理和诸如凝血病等并发症，这使得这些患者的管理极具挑战性。这就是我们在本综述中涵盖这两个主要方面的原因。此外，我们简要介绍了几个实体的指南综述，以帮助应对健康危机，并在这场大流行期间为所有烧伤患者提供最佳护理。
