Abstract :
One hundred years after the influenza outbreak in 1918
coronavirus disease (COVID‑19) became a global health
issue, which forces us to adapt our professional customs
in the health care system. Our recent practice, since the
1990s, of processing experimental and observational
evidences and time‑consuming methods of developing
guidelines seem not to be efficient enough because of
scarce evidence and rapidly spreading disease. According
to formal announcements, until writing this letter, we
had more than 95,000 COVID‑19 patients in Iran with a
mortality rate of 6.3%.
