Abstract

Beginning in December 2019, a new epidemic, called COVID-19 has disrupted our lives. Tt started from the city of Wuhan in China to affect the whole world. This epidemic has changed the health care systems around the world, revealing their shortcomings and bringing attention to effective and efficient management of wards. In this paper, our aim is to investigate how COVID-19 pandemic affecting the Emergency Medicine ward of “San Giovanni di Dio and Ruggi d'Aragona,” also comparing the obtained outcome with respect to the same sample of Cardarelli for unveiling and analyze possible similarities and differences in procedures and suggested possible future directions.
