description The entire world is facing a new challenge due to the COVID-19 outbreak that led to a disruption in habits, behaviours, perceptions of risk/benefits, and health priorities. Besides the multiple questions caused by these times of uncertainty, questions about endoscopy practice also emerged and without simple answers: how can we protect ourselves, our co-workers, our patients and our families? [...]postponing elective procedures decreases travel needs and crowding in hospitals, and also reduces workload (and thus transmission risk at the time of endoscopy) and use of resources (both PPE and human resources). [...]health care professionals in endoscopy rooms are at a higher risk of infection due to inhalation of airborne droplets, conjunctival contact, touch contamination and viral material in faeces [5, 6]. [...]the dynamics of the epidemiological curve changes very quickly, influencing the population and individual infection risk.
