Until now, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has resulted in more than 5 million confirmed cases, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has announced it as a global pandemic [1, 2]. Infection prevention in the hemodialysis center of a general hospital is complicated by the monitoring of long-term dialysis patients, as well as the inevitable occurrence of emerging dialysis from wards or emergency room. Concordant with suggestions from the WHO, and based on real-world practice during the COVID-19 outbreak, we implemented a safe and efficient workflow to screen and manage patients who need urgent dialysis in Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH), a leading hospital in mainland China.
