Infection control: The pattern for COVID 19 is inconsistent between and within states. Some city's hospitals have stopped doing elective procedures due to COVID 19 number. I can not see what state/ city you are writing from. However, hospitals are currently maintaining very high infection control standards to markedly reduce infection transmission.
