description The novel coronavirus 19 SARS-CoV2 caused a change in the practice of Otolaryngology around the globe. The high viral load in the nasal cavity, nasopharynx and airway subjects Otolaryngologists to a high risk of catching the virus during aerosol generating procedures. After the first outbreak wave has subsided, many teams are now discussing how our ‘new normal’ practice will look. We share our guidelines on restarting elective clinical work in order to create a safe environment for patients and staff in a Pediatric Otolaryngology outpatient clinic.
