Lessons from SARS-CoV Epidemic	2020-03-13		.txt	text/plain	1276	76	53	During the initial stage, Singapore recorded one of the highest number of infections outside of China (3), reminiscence of the SARS-CoV epidemic 17 years ago (4). In 2003, the authors were deployed to perform IR as well as critical care procedures in critically ill SARS-CoV patients, and today, providing IR support to the COVID-19 patients. Save for the critically ill, the vast majority of patients with viral pneumonia will not require any IR procedure (28 IR procedures in 27 patients out of the cohort of 206 during SARS-CoV epidemic) (4) . Similarly during the SARS-CoV epidemic in Singapore, among the 206 cases, there were 84 healthcare workers infection resulting in 5 deaths. To assume that the COVID-19 outbreak would be the same as the SARS-CoV epidemic, would be overly simplistic and to ignore our prior experience.	./cache/cord-351503-2f0sk24j.txt	./txt/cord-351503-2f0sk24j.txt
