Abstract

The COVID 19 pandemic ravaged the globe with a remarkable ferocity and has not entirely abated till now with cases flaring up at various places at different times. The expected course is for it to become endemic with recurring exacerbations. Over the past two years, we have become wiser to its pathology, diagnosis, and treatment. However, it is imperative for us to regularly and consistently reassess our protocols to assimilate the current and ever-growing knowledge in this direction. Doing so will help us to use our resources judiciously, improve patient care, and enhance the overall benefit to stakeholders. In this article, we aim draw the researchers' attention to few issues which may not be at the forefront at this point in time but important nevertheless. These include the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), universal gloving, isolation criteria, and handling of dead bodies, among others. We hope that a reassessment of the challenges involved in the said procedures will help us to be better prepared to face and tackle potential future waves and the multiple challenges that would potentially ensue post-spikes in infection incidences.
