Ensure that the healthcare staff including the doctor, nurses and paramedical staff have no signs and symptoms related to COVID-19 infection or any contact with COVID patients in the past 14 days and it is better to screen the health care staff, if feasible. Patients presented to the emergency triage with an orthopaedic emergency such as joint dislocations, compartment syndrome, open fractures, mangled extremity, polytrauma with FESS should be managed according to a specific guideline during global health emergencies like a pandemic of COVID-19. These orthopaedic emergencies require effective outpatient, inpatient and surgical care besides avoiding transmission of infection to fellow patients and health care givers. ./cache/cord-307710-dlpfbnb1.txt ./txt/cord-307710-dlpfbnb1.txt
