Corona & organ transplantation
Dear patients,
Since February 2020, the new coronavirus (SARS-Co-V-2 or the disease it causes, Covid-19) has been spreading in Germany.
People with a weakened immune system are particularly at risk of infection. This also applies to infection with the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen. Therefore, please note the current information and recommendations that we have compiled for you here.
What to do if you test positive for Covid-19?
In this case, we ask you to contact your local transplant outpatient clinic to discuss a possible therapy. You will find the contact details at the bottom of this page.
