Most elective surgeries were delayed because of the public health emergency. However, when patients have life-threatening emergencies or illnesses, surgeries are often needed as soon as possible.

“…Most of these strategies center on the isolation of health care facilities for COVID-19 patients, priority for urgent cases for immediate surgery, COVID-19 screening for patients undergoing surgery, use of PPE by health personnel, and decreasing the duration of post-operative patient stay. [13][14][15][16] However, the protocol in the form of a COVID-19-free operating route has not been widely researched and recommended. This operating route protocol has its advantages because it includes a preventive protocol that reduces the risk of exposure to nosocomial COVID-19 in elective surgery patients who are not infected with SARS-CoV-2 since the patient's initial admission to the hospital.…”

“…Accordingly, the SARS-CoV-2 virological test was carried out, although the result came out one day after the patient was given treatment. 7,[11][12][13][14] Treatment of odontogenic infections is based on important elements, such as administration of special antibiotics and surgical intervention. 26 Ideally, the antibiotics given should be in accordance with the results of culture and resistance tests, because this examination requires a long time, so the administration of antibiotics can be empirically based or according to the germ pattern in the area.…”
