The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in a substantial increase in mortality arising from acute respiratory distress syndrome and fatal complications, which has brought immediate, direct, and unprecedented global changes to our world and healthcare system [1]. In addition to the immediate threat posed by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, resulting in morbidity and mortality in millions of infected patients globally, changes in human behavior and resource allocations have led to a detrimental impact on public health [2]. Specifically, the regulations and measures taken to reduce viral transmission, such as public lockdowns, resulted in non-COVID-19-care becoming severely undermined. The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated an unprecedented reorganization and rapid reshuffling of emergency care facilities worldwide to accommodate the increased clinical workload.
