Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a type of viral pneumonia caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Person-toperson transmission is thought to occur among close contacts mainly via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes, which is very common in endoscopic procedures in Otorhinolaryngology. • Deep cleaning and fumigation of the room should be performed when a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction COVID-19 positive patient undergoes a procedure. • When possible, procedures on COVID-19 suspect/positive patients should be performed as the last procedure, and the endoscopy room should be thoroughly ventilated for at least 1 h before the next procedure by using blowers or natural ventilation.	./cache/cord-258701-jyzxu9nk.txt	./txt/cord-258701-jyzxu9nk.txt
