EMS responses and non-transports during the COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic may affect both use of 9 –1-1 systems and prehospital treatment and transport practices. We evaluated EMS responses in an EMS region when it experienced low to moderate burden of COVID-19 disease to assess overall trends, response and management characteristics, and non-transport rates. Our goal is to inform current and f uture pandemic response in similar regions.
