The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an unprecedented healthcare crisis with various governmental healthcare policies enforced to redirect medical prioritization and minimize the spread of COVID19 infection. Recognizing that the COVID-19 crisis will be protracted, it is important that clinicians and the healthcare industry continue to adapt existing resources and review contingency plan amidst this uncertain and difficult times. The Asia Pacific Society of Sexual Medicine supports ongoing precautionary healthcare measures implemented by various institutions and governmental policies to contain and eliminate COVID19 infection. Clinicians are encouraged to modify and adapt various strategies that will continue to provide, support, and treat sexual health–related conditions in a safe and efficient manner.Chung E, Jiann BP, Nagao L, et al.
