In British Columbia, an epicentre of the overdose epidemic in Canada, unique steps are being taken to mitigate risk for people who use drugs in the context of SARS-CoV-2. Clinical guidance published by the British Columbia Centre on Substance Use in collaboration with the provincial Ministry of Health has, for the first time, proposed an approach to prescribing these medications to patients with active substance use disorders who are thought to be at high risk for SARS-CoV-2.
