Highlights
We report 181 people with CF from 19 countries diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2
Spectrum of outcomes observed was similar to that seen in the general population
11 people were admitted to intensive care and 7 died
Three of the people who died had received an organ transplant
Lower lung function and having been transplanted may be linked to hospitalisation
In March 2020, a national elimination strategy for coronavirus disease was introduced in New Zealand. Since then, hospitalizations for lower respiratory tract infection among infants <2 years of age and cases of respiratory syncytial or influenza virus infection have dramatically decreased. These findings indicate additional benefits of coronavirus disease control strategies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
