Data from @SecureCirrhosis and The EASL COVID-HEP registry (n=419) Huge surge in cases this week. Welcome to all new contributors joining the international effort. Important trends remain but more data is urgently required, particularly for transplant patients. Log a case now.

Can I get tested for #coronavirus? The government are increasing testing capacity, which is a key strategy in the next phase of the management of COVID-19. If you have #CHB or #Cirrhosis and are wondering if you are eligible for testing, get in touch: bit.ly/2Y0KM3r

#COVID19 has impacted almost all patients with chronic #liver disease. An area of specific concern is how best to provide hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surveillance in chronic #hepatitisB (CHB) patients. Read the recent paper for BMJ Group here bit.ly/2ACDc5s

An antibody test will determine if you have been exposed to #COVID19 previously. This is crucial in understanding the true prevalence, but what it tells us about immunity in the medium to long term remains to be seen. Barts Health #Covid19UK #antibodytest

In light of #COVID19, patients with #CHB should not neglect their treatment or management plans during these uncertain times. My HBV&Me tool can help patients better understand the management of their CHB: bit.ly/2MuXNLH #hepatology

In the current #COVID19 era of reducing or potentially delaying HCC surveillance, the use of risk scores in #CHB patients may enhance stratification, which could be integrated in future practice to prevent unnecessary tests: bit.ly/2UcjuV4 Georgia Zeng Uppy Gill
