The following guidance is directed to clinical staff who will be involved in making decisions regarding the prioritisation of critical care resources in the context of COVID-19. The guidance is applicable to the particular situation where resource scarcity arises and rationing decisions have to be made and are applicable to all patient categories. Patients with COVID-19 and other patients requiring intensive care are treated according to the same criteria. Available resources are to be allocated fairly and in a consistent manner.
