Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised questions about the management of people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). To date, there have been over 43 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 globally, including over 1.1 million deaths (https://COVID-19.who.int). What have we learnt about the risks of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with IBD and is there any evidence to support a change in IBD management?
