The coronavirus disease (COVID–19) has become a global pandemic. In the absence of any targeted therapy or vaccine to stop the spread of novel corona virus (SARS–CoV–2; 2019–nCoV), measures of protection and prevention such as hand washing, sanitization, masks, screening, social distancing, and isolation and quarantine have shown to be efficient in controlling the disease. Dermatologists must work with the aim to mitigate the spread of the virus. Dermatologists must consider the strategies to prevent outpatients from coming to their clinic/hospital potentially exposing themselves or others by rescheduling non–urgent appointments and procedures. Telemedicine may be of particular use for this specially for patients at higher risk of infection (the elderly and those with other associated comorbidities) and for non–urgent appointments.
