Closing chapters examine how emergency departments can best prepare for potential surges in COVID-19 patients as the illness continues to develop, providing important information on how to best protect hospital employees and best care for future patients in a constantly shifting landscape.
Due to therapid onset of the illness and strong-hold the pandemic had on the lives and careers of healthcare professionals,
