Since 1995, ASET has periodically published updates to recommendations for best practices in infection prevention for Neurodiagnostic technologists. The latest installment was accepted in December 2019 for publication in Volume 60, Issue 1, before we had much knowledge or understanding about the SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. This Technical Tips article is presented as an addendum to the 2020 update and includes important information about infection prevention measures specific to procedure protocols when working with patients positive or under investigation for a highly infectious disease, and when working with patients in general during the current pandemic. All Neurodiagnostic technologists who have direct patient care are responsible for ensuring the use of best practices to prevent the spread of infection.
