Abstract
When it is safe to do so, medical professionals should not delay the treatment of patients who present with respiratory difficulties. Stigmatization of such patients can result in the unnecessary deferral of emergency therapy; this may lead to fatalities that could have been avoided.
Keywords: Stigma, discrimination, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2.
