Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak has been designated a public-health emergency in major cities around the globe. Major health-care institutions are scrambling to implement effective infection control measures to ensure the safety of patients and visitors while minimising disruptions to the provision of quality health care. We describe the measures taken by the nuclear medicine units in the major health-care institutions within Singapore to ensure optimal delivery of care to our paediatric patients and their caregivers.
