This article has summarised the actions taken in this regard and may serve as a reference to clinicians who are responsible for swallowing assessments and dysphagia management in nursing homes. Residents who had been diagnosed with COVID-19 were assessed after discharged to the nursing home as patients with COVID-19 were considered at high risk for oropharyngeal dysphagia [18] , especially those who have been previously intubated [19] . Therefore, standard and at-risk residents should be considered differently with respect to dysphagia assessments and management and personal protective equipment usage. Consequently, a surge in the use of telepractice for dysphagia management in nursing home settings was not observed during the COVID-19 pandemic.	./cache/cord-303731-yrlzxtbw.txt	./txt/cord-303731-yrlzxtbw.txt
