Abstract
Following 457 days without local transmission, the second wave of COVID-19 hit Brunei Darussalam in August 2021. This warranted the Emergency Department (ED) at Raja-Isteri-Pengiran-Anak-Saleha Hospital to revise standard operating procedures (SOPs). Emergency Department Operations Centre was re-activated, managing ED operations, logistics, personal protective equipment (PPE) provisions, and communication with other Health Facility operation centers.
