We read with interest the review article Better Safe than Sorry: Interventional Radiology Should Be Prepared for the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic by Babu et al published in your esteemed journal in April 2020.[1] The authors have beautifully addressed the important tips about interventional radiology (IR) practice in the setting of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We want to add some points with regard to the IR practice in COVID-19.
As radiologists, we all know about the principle of time, distance, and shielding for radiation protection; the same can also be applied to the COVID-19 situation.
