Abstract

Patients and physicians may be concerned about starting a biologic treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether biologics enhance the risk of being infected with SARS-CoV-2 or if the disease course is worsened, remain to be ascertained. So far, no negative signal emerged for an increased risk of severe COVID-19 associated with biologics when compared with the general population.
