Some health authorities and organizations are instructing that all elective procedures be postponed. QUAD A does not dictate adherence to recommendations regarding case selection during this health crisis, but expects facilities to adhere to any legal or regulatory orders. QUAD A continues to monitor the situation closely and expects that facilities that chose to operate will so do in a manner that is safe for patients, staff, and members of the community.
