Abstract

Argues for modifying established First Aid apps and other educational and help resources with additional features and considerations (including notable step-by-step examples) to address the current circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to both better equip laypeople to treat non-COVID related illness and injury from home as well as determine when the need for professional examination and care outweighs the increased risks of viral infection when visiting a healthcare provider.
