We found the publication “Early experience in the COVID-19 pandemic from a vascular surgery unit in a Singapore tertiary hospital” very interesting. Tan et al stated, “Surgical services form an essential component of the health care system, but as surgeons, we need to be versatile and be able to respond to the ever evolving pandemic situation.” The risk of COVID-19 transmission to the surgeon during surgery is possible. The preventive measures explained by Tan et al are useful in other settings. In addition to general preventive measures, there should be a good surgery management system to postpone unnecessary surgery. In Indochina, almost all vascular surgeries are not done during the COVID-19 outbreak. In case the vascular surgical procedure is required, presurgery testing for COVID-19 is recommended, and the practitioner should follow standard universal precautions for all patients in all phases of surgery, before, during, and after operation.
