Abstract
Abstract Body
Patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) as well as other chronic conditions have possibly suffered from a reduced follow up consultations in primary care and moreover they have possibly been at risk of developing severe outcomes of COVID-19. We will present the available evidence on this area and propose some possible solutions like remote consultations to improve COPD patients' management in times of pandemia.
