GUIDANCE:

Healthcare providers around the globe have shifted their attention to caring for victims of the COVID-19 pandemic and preventing the spread of the virus, which has resulted in a deferral of surgical volumes. Due to the uncertainty created by this evolving dynamic, management has withdrawn its previously provided 2020 guidance, as announced on March 20, 2020, and is unable to provide reliable guidance at this time.
