| Details | In this paper we aim to provide simple, practical, and defensible ethical guidelines for triage management of COVID-19 patients based on the principles of distributive justice, fairness, non-discrimination, and beneficence. We have come to these principles through literature review, and online interviews with professionals all around the world including medical doctors and ethicists, and use ethical arguments to provide answers to help governments, policy makers, hospitals, medical doctors and other healthcare workers with the hard decision of triage for COVID-19 patients in overwhelmed facilities. These guidelines should be clear and practical so that healthcare workers can use them without confusion over difficult terminology or philosophical debates. |
