We have seen no indication that people with bleeding disorders are at an increased risk for contracting COVID-19, and there is no indication that people with bleeding disorders who have no other underlying conditions are more likely to develop severe symptoms. However, the COVID-19 virus is a respiratory illness that may result in severe coughing, and that can increase risk of head bleeds. It is more important than ever to make sure you are adhering to your prophylaxis regimen to decrease the likelihood of all bleeding. Currently, all of our pharmaceutical partners have assured us their supply of medication is unaffected by the outbreak. Do not ration products at this time. Treat as your healthcare provider has prescribed your medications, contact your HTC or healthcare provider with any questions or concerns and above all, stay healthy.
