Core Tip	During the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, if emergency surgery is required, both emergency surgery and infection control should be performed using personal protective equipment and negative-pressure equipment and facilities without waiting for the results of COVID-19 reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction. Even if the results of the reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction test are negative, if the medical history, symptoms, and X-ray findings indicate suspected COVID-19, all medical activities should be performed as they would for a confirmed case and samples should be repeatedly tested using various methods and at different locations.
