Sumario:The impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is continuing, and the most important issue facing medical staff is how to provide medical care while preventing nosocomial infections. Since acute stroke treatment, particularly mechanical thrombectomy, is urgent, infection protection measures may not always be followed, which increases the risk of infection exposure. The measures and methods for patient screening, transport, zoning, and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) employed to prevent nosocomial infections of COVID-19 at our facility are described herein.
