COVID-19 is a new infection with clinically severe manifestations, including death. Given the dramatic increase in cases, a series of measures are being set in motion to slow the speed of transmission. The prioritized procedures have not yet been defined for care in the area of urology. Uro-oncologic procedures are the first priority because they have a high risk for complications.
