The COVID-19 pandemic may also be inflicting collateral damage on patients with heart disease and stroke. Avoidance of the hospital can thereby cause delay in medical care for patients with heart disease and stroke and potentially a higher rate of complications. Other limitations of the study may include variation in test methods, rates of testing and availability of resources for testing by country, and a need for a reassessment at the policy level of what may or may not work during the pandemic as evidenced by relatively low COVID-19 death rates in some high-income countries (e.g., Denmark, Norway, Germany, New Zealand) but not others. Importantly, hospitals will need to balance bed availability for patients with both COVID-19 and traditional non-communicable diseases.
