The National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) is a 2700-bed teaching hospital that provides both primary and tertiary care. It was designated as a COVID-19 response hospital in Taiwan. From March to April 2020, the number of average daily visits was 211, and the number of average daily visits to the NTUH ED by patients posing a risk of COVID-19 transmission was 12.

We conducted a retrospective study using prospectively collected data of patients who visited the ED between March 1 and April 30, 2020. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the NTUH (REC No. 202003043RINA), and the requirement to obtain informed consent was waived.
