Description
Summary:	The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has rapidly spread worldwide starting from China in late 2019. The first case in Jordan was reported on March 2, 2020. The Jordanian government made many transformations to address this crisis. As we are the only referral cardiology center for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the north of Jordan, we made multiple adjustments to confront COVID-19 challenges. We emphasize that there is an urgent need to update all procedures and therapeutic activities that are performed in the Cath-Lab to minimize the risks for both the patients and the health care providers during the pandemic of COVID-19.
