To the Editor:
Recently, Repici et al1 proposed a model for prevention of COVID-19 infection spread in endoscopic units. The topic is of utmost importance because of the potential for fecal–oral transmission of the SARS-CoV-2,2 its prolonged persistence on different surfaces,3 and the fact that, from now on, an increasing number of procedures in patients known to be COVID-19 positive will be performed.
