(SEATTLE) One of the largest groups of surgeons in the country has submitted a plan for re-instating elective surgeries postponed by Covid-19.

Doctor Charles Peterson is President of Proliance Surgeons, a group representing 250 surgeons across the Northwest. He’s released what they call a “blueprint” for re-opening hospitals and medical centers to non-life threatening procedures once the immediate danger of the Coronavirus has passed.
