To the Editor, We thank Inglis and colleagues for the recent CSANZ COVID-19 Cardiovascular Nursing Care Consensus Statement [1] and for highlighting important issues in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease nursing management during the COVID-19 pandemic. Stroke/TIA presentations, particularly among those with milder symptoms, have fallen substantially across the world during the pandemic, potentially resulting in more severe stroke events or disability from delayed treatment [2] [3] [4] . COVID-19 has negatively impacted hospital workflows and has led to redeployment of staff resources, including nurses who work in Stroke Units [2] . Without the care of specialist multidisciplinary teams in a dedicated stroke unit, patients face higher rates of complications, disability and mortality [2, 4, 5] .
