Infographic: COVID-19 Impact on Viral Hepatitis Care

Dec 03, 2020 | Julia Zigman

The National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable and other leading viral hepatitis advocacy organizations launched a survey in June to assess the impact of COVID-19 on viral hepatitis care. The results are stark and show that public health departments and community organizations have had to limit hepatitis treatment as a result of the pandemic. In particular, nearly two-thirds of community-based organizations providing viral hepatitis services have received inadequate or no funding to adapt services during COVID-19. Furthermore, more than half of community-based organizations survey had to furlough or lay off staff or reduce operations due to COVID-19. The survey shows that vaccinations, testing, and treating viral hepatitis has decreased as a result of COVID-19. For additional information, access their new infographic here.
