In addition, we presented the clinical indications to delineate orthopaedic patients who deserve emergency or urgent in-hospital care from those that can be treated in the outpatient setting, as well as from the day surgery clinics or could not be admitted in the hospital, in order to decrease the SARS-CoV-2 transmission load. The proposed principles of management and care are deployed below as (1) general management of the orthopaedic departments, (2) recommendations for the management of traumatic orthopaedic injuries, (3) hospital pathways for the admitted orthopaedic patients (4) workflow of the isolated and negative pressure COVID-19 operating theatre (COT) and (5) postoperative care of the COVID-19 infected patients.	./cache/cord-336488-opjjowcq.txt	./txt/cord-336488-opjjowcq.txt
