The COVID-19 virus has impacted our patients in unusual ways. From loss of taste and smell to fatigue, shortness of breath and coughing, we have been presented with patients with no clear pattern of symptoms, but all deserve the best care we can provide. This session reviews available evidence in regard to best practices for managing patients with COVID-19 in acute care and during their rehabilitation. To consolidate learning, we work through facilitators and barriers to practice.
