To be clear, we cannot know the long-term impact of biologic agents on patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 until more time passes and we have more data. For now, the most medical organizations, including the American Academy of Dermatology, the National Psoriasis Foundation, and the International Eczema Council, among others, have advocated not discontinuing biologics in patients who are not infected. Of course, these agents should be discontinued in patients with active infection.
