Dear Editor,All hemodialysis facilities are putting extensive efforts to protect their patients from the COVID-19 pandemic. Screening for the symptoms is the first step of all. When there is fever, cough, or shortness of breath, the patient becomes a suspected case to be tested for COVID-19. Suspected and confirmed COVID-19 patients should ideally be dialysed in a separate isolation room [1]. When an isolation room cannot be established, these patients may be placed in the last shift or sent to a COVID-19 designated dialysis facility. The staff should follow institutional guidance to use appropriate personal protective equipment.
