IBD patients are severely worried about the impact of their disease and medications on the risk and the prognosis of COVID-19, and many of them are forced to come to hospital because of active disease, complications and drug administration. Patients scheduled for a follow-up visit are required to stay at home and to complete a questionnaire about IBD symptoms and quality of life, together with their routine laboratory tests, to the nurse and the dedicated doctor, who give recommendations and information about therapy and follow-up procedures. Based on the assumption that the risk of coronavirus infection is not different between the general population and IBD patients, but that IBD flares are difficult to manage in this situation, we advise all patients to continue their therapies, especially if in remission. ./cache/cord-312663-hhd5f823.txt ./txt/cord-312663-hhd5f823.txt
