Aerosol Generating Procedures (COVID-19)

For COVID-19 risk assessment:
In making this judgement the clinician should be aware of the varied presentation of COVID-19 and take account of:

• Local epidemiology

COVID-19 tests required for risk assessment:

• All patients also to be swabbed on admission to SHDU

Repeat risk assessment and testing:

• If AGP still required then routinely repeat SARS-CoV-2 tests at days 2, 5, and every 5 days thereafter, days counted from date of admission to high dependency or ITU.
