Abstract

The rapid spread of COVID-19 has changed the global surgical care1–3. Patients infected with COVID-19 may present without typical symptoms, and such asymptomatic patients may potentially trigger in-hospital outbreaks by transmitting the disease to health care providers and other hospitalized patients4,5. Further, asymptomatic COVID-19 patients have worse postoperative outcomes with an unexpectedly high morbidity and mortality, reaching 20·5 per cent deaths6. However, we do not have objective global data on this issue
