  ABSTRACT: The emergence of the Severe Acute Respiratory Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia, also referred to as COVID-19 in New York City in March 2020, has put an overwhelming strain on the healthcare system in the city. Many local hospitals have reported a surge of cases, with most cases presenting with severe respiratory complications. We aim to present a comprehensive surge filter protocol for outpatient programs to mitigate the surge of cases admitted in the emergency rooms and intensive care units (ICUs) of local hospitals in our community. Our surge filter protocol was developed based on a detailed review of how South Korea and Spain mounted their outpatient surge responses. Our preliminary findings revealed that our Four-Ts approach (i.e., Test, Treat, Track, and Teach) has resulted in none of our patients reaching a clinical requirement for inpatient care.
