Frequently Asked Questions about Thrombosis during COVID-19 Pandemic
Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the “shelter-in-place” orders have placed a significant strain on patients and providers. We believe that patient education is crucial during these times, so together with their health care providers, the patients can make the best decisions in regard to their health. Anchored on a patient-perspective, we summarize frequently asked questions illustrating a growing thrombosis concern.
