Popis: The rapid global spreading of SARS-CoV2 virus had triggered a state of alert in health systems imposing safety measures to limit its spreading. The aim of our study is to compare the number and type of emergency admissions in our university hospital between the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic and the same period of the previous year. A decrease in the number of patients and the nature of pathologies admitted to the emergency room during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study highlights that the Covid 19 epidemic and the containment have largely reduced the influx of patients treated in the ENT university emergency department of Marrakech, thus demonstrating that level 2 regional hospitals can take care of the majority of ENT emergencies and leave access to the level 3 university hospital to patients requiring heavy and multidisciplinary management.
