Role of Physiotherapist in Covid-19

Physical therapists (PTs) and other professionals routinely come into touch with patients, which put them at risk of spreading infectious diseases to others. Therefore, it is important for physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals to understand COVID-19, how to stop its spread, and how they may get involved in workforce planning. Since this may not be the ideal situation for everyone involved, they must use their professional judgement to choose when, how, and when to provide care. At the same time, we must keep in mind that our line of work is crucial to the wellbeing of our neighbourhood and that certain residents' health may be negatively impacted by care interruptions.
