Abstract
We read with interest an article on novel coronavirus disease 2019 recently published in the journal by Lin et al. (1). In this letter, we hope to provide some insights from an interventional radiologist (IR) perspective and provide relevant references to better help IR prepare for what is ahead while COVID-19 outbreak is evolving.
