Operative words

To preserve PPE for health care providers who are battling the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning April 1, 2020, all health care providers whether medical, dental or other, and health care facilities... are directed to cancel or postpone elective and non-urgent surgical or invasive procedures. An 'elective and non-urgent' procedure... includes any surgery or invasive procedure which can be delayed without undue risk to current or future health of the patient as determined by the patient's treating physician, dentist or health care provider... This provision supersedes the non-essential surgical procedure directive in Executive Order 20-04, paragraph 7 (ACS quotation)
