This study explains how On March 16, 2020 the urologic oncology division at Charleston Area Medical Center met to examine their reaction to COVID-19. CAMC is one of 2 tertiary, scholarly focuses in West Virginia and gives subspecialty urological care toward the southern portion of the state and lining provinces of Kentucky, Virginia and Ohio. The urologic oncology division comprises of 2 doctors and a doctor associate. At the hour of the gathering, there had been 160,000 worldwide instances of COVID-19 in around 150 countries.2 The U.S. had revealed 4,226 COVID-19 cases with a speed increase to almost 500 new cases each day during the past week.3 On that very day, in light of more extensive calls to shorten elective medical procedures, the ACS (American College of Surgeons) distributed “Direction on Triage of Non-Emergent Surgical Procedure.”4 The AUA (American Urological Association) upheld ACS proposals to limit elective medical procedures and had dropped its yearly conference.5 Unknown at that point, West Virginia would report its first instance of COVID-19 the next day, March 17.6 Therefore, the CAMC urologic oncology office chose to quickly change all office arrangements, aside from those considered significant, to telemedicine experiences.
