COVID-19 has infected more than 10 million people
worldwide and it has become one of the biggest challenges
in the modern medical history. Wearing of face masks, social
distancing, effective hand hygiene and the use of
appropriate personal protective equipment are important in
flattening the curve of the pandemic. The role of the
surgeons in this battle against COVID-19 include curbing the
spread of the disease, to protect and preserve the surgical
workforce and to ensure the continuance of essential
surgical services. We report our experience in dealing with
the COVID-19 outbreak in a tertiary surgical centre in the
Penang General Hospital in Northern Malaysia.
