 The recent guidelines for the prevention of COVID-19 recommend that elective procedures should be postponed due to their potential to generate aerosol particles which can infect healthcare workers. Sagami et al, Nevin et al, and others have published the use of a barrier box to reduce the spread of droplets. We have modified this technique by creating an endoscopic shield made of three plastic square walls with a height and width of 50 centimeters and a length of 40 centimeters. The wall facing the patient has a hole of 10 centimeters for insertion of the scope. The foot and head sides of the cube are left open. The opening in the head side helps the assistant to keep the patient in proper position, along with the mouthpiece and nasal prong. One might argue that this could lead to the spread of droplets, however, previous studies have shown that the droplets tend to fall more towards the wall facing the patient's mouth, thus placing the surgical mask over the patient's face further reduces the headward spread of droplets. Additionally, this helps to facilitate the two and fro movement of the box so that the
