During the COVID-19 crisis, 100% of hospitals surveyed have cancelled elective onsite consultation and changed to phone assistance, 40% have also attended patients via e-mail, and 13% have used social media to inform patients about the latest updates regarding IBD and SARS-CoV-2. The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected Spain, with 205,905 cases confirmed by polymerase chain reaction and 22,902 deaths registered up to April 24, 2020, and has forced all hospitals to change their clinical practice, suspending all ambulatory procedures to minimize the risk of infection and relocating doctors and nurses to attend COVID-19 patients. ./cache/cord-312374-gu9tq48n.txt ./txt/cord-312374-gu9tq48n.txt
