This Information Statement is entitledGuidance and Best Practices for Reestablishment of Non-Emergent Care in Nuclear Cardiology Laboratories during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic: An Information Statement from ASNC, IAEA, and SNMMI. It serves as a followup to the previous Information Statement entitledGuidance and Best Practices for Nuclear Cardiology Laboratories during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic: An Information Statement from ASNC and SNMMI.Whereas the previous Information Statement focused on considerations for nuclear cardiology laboratories during the pandemic, the present document focuses on reestablishment of non-emergent care as the laboratory begins to emerge from the period of peak infection. Independent of this document, if you practice nuclear cardiology, please consider participating in INCAPS COVID, a worldwide surveyof the impact of COVID-19 on nuclear cardiology and cardiac CT practice, being conducted by IAEA. The survey takes 5-10 minutes to complete. Participants are included in the INCAPS COVID Investigators Group for publications. Further details at bit.ly/incapscovid. Survey at bit.ly/iaeasurvey.
