The limitations imposed on accessibility to non-urgent care during the lockdown of "phase 1" of this pandemic have created the need to revolutionize clinical practice to meet the health demands of chronic and high-risk diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Extensive Chinese observational reports on confirmed Covid-19 cases indicated that among patients with the most severe form of disease the prevalence of diabetes was 12-16% [5] [6] [7] [8] . In a French study, the risk for invasive mechanical ventilation in patients with COVID-19 infection admitted to Intensive Treatment Unit was more than sevenfold higher for those with BMI > 35 compared with BMI < 25 kg/m 2 [14] .	./cache/cord-262928-l2bqcd0l.txt	./txt/cord-262928-l2bqcd0l.txt
