    AbstractNew York City faced an explosive spread of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), causing the city's death toll to spike owing to the high virulence of COVID-19. The health care system was on the verge of collapse. Advance care planning (ACP), informed assent, and palliative care played significant roles in supporting patient self-determination and dignity, facilitating decision making, and promoting better care. The importance of these strategies was revisited. Learning from the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, it is anticipated that several approaches such as ACP and palliative intervention may attract more attention and become increasingly essential to the healthcare system in Japan.
