An internet-based algorithm for diabetic foot infection during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Most patients with DFU need to regularly visit healthcare providers to receive adequate wound care and obtain the maintenance medications for diabetes. All patients should be first screened for the COVID-19 infection if they have respiratory syndrome and/or history of close contact with confirmed cases.
