Thus, we assessed COVID-19 prevalence/exposure, perception, compliance and behavior of transplant recipients and candidates on the waiting list in two German liver transplant centers in April 2020 using a crosssectional anonymous survey in patients and their household members. Responding to the item "I am afraid to become infected with the Coronavirus", SOT recipients reported a significantly greater fear of being infected with SARS-CoV-2 than their household controls ( Figure 1A and Supplementary Table S1). Here we demonstrate that fears associated with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic are frequently expressed by liver transplantation recipients and candidates as well as by their household members. While fears and concerns associated with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic are frequently expressed by SOT recipients and candidates, measures to prevent infection were frequently followed in the vast majority of patients.	./cache/cord-311635-hf6vrbyx.txt	./txt/cord-311635-hf6vrbyx.txt
