Abstract

During the COVID‐19 pandemic era, multiple infection prevention and control measures to reduce the risk of SARS‐CoV‐2 transmission may be required in upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGI). We herein studied the verification tests of Endo barrier, which is one of the protective barrier enclosures. Endo barrier may be an alternative for minimizing SARS‐CoV‐2 transmission during UGI.
