We developed a framework for balancing the importance of NIBS operations with safety considerations, which facilitates the re-establishment of access to NIBS clinical services and research operations during COVID-19.
The present consensus paper provides guidelines and good practices for managing and reopening NIBS clinics and laboratories through the immediate and ongoing stages of COVID-19.
The proposed robust and structured strategy aims to address the current and anticipated future challenges while maintaining scientific rigor and managing risk.
