ABSTRACT

December 31, 2019 marks the date when a new highly transmissible and highly lethal airway infection is reported in Wuhan, China. The pathogen responsible for this illness was then determined to be a novel coronavirus which was labelled SARS-CoV-2 now known formally as COVID-19. These have proven to be historic times, which have posed a challenge to the global medical community including all specialties. The present article emits recommendations regarding the management of benign, locally aggressive, and malignant bone tumors during the COVID-19 pandemic.
