During the epidemic, some patients with neurological diseases also have COVID-19, which could be misdiagnosed and cause silent transmission and nosocomial infection. Such risk is high in a neurological intensive care unit (NCU). Therefore, prevention and control of epidemic in critically ill patients is of utmost importance. The principle of NCU care should include comprehensive screening and risk assessment, weighing risk against benefits and reducing the risk of COVID-19 transmission while treating patients as promptly as possible.}, issn = {2059-8688}, URL = {https://svn.bmj.com/content/early/2020/07/16/svn-2020-000409}, eprint = {https://svn.bmj.com/content/early/2020/07/16/svn-2020-000409.full.pdf}, journal = {Stroke and Vascular Neurology} }
