SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, COVID‐19 and timing of elective surgery Open
Summary The scale of the COVID‐19 pandemic means that a significant number of patients who have previously been infected with SARS‐CoV‐2 will require surgery. Given the potential for multisystem involvement, timing of surgery needs to be c…
