Core Tip

Core Tip: Dialysis patients are more vulnerable to develop severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. To minimize risks, some measures should be followed by dialysis units, healthcare personnel, patients and visitors. Until vaccination against COVID-19 is widely available to dialysis patients worldwide, an evidence-based approach is required to avoid the spread of the virus and consequently more death of patients.
