Introduction The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS2-CoV-2) induced pandemic (COVID-19 pandemic) has affected healthcare in all aspects, including stroke care. We sought to investigate this effect with analysis of our hospital's stroke treatment protocols as well as stroke volume on state, regional, and national levels. Methods This was a retrospective review of prospectively collected data from our stroke registry to assess the impact of the SARS2-CoV-2 induced pandemic on the volume of stroke patients presenting to our facility. ⋯ We identified a delay in LKWT to door as well as time from door to CT in March 2020 compared to March 2019 at our institution. There was a statistically significant decrease in final diagnosis of TIA at our hospital, all California hospitals, and all West Regional hospitals during the March-April 2020 window, suggesting that some patients with minor stroke symptoms may not be presenting to the hospital in the midst of the pandemic. Strategies to minimize delays in care and maximize functional recovery must continue to evolve as new challenges are met during the COVID-19 pandemic.
