By the 13 th of March, based on the limited literature available by then and on the experience with previous pandemics, these measures were outlined in a well-defined protocol, aiming to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection, guarantee the best treatment to avoid hepatic decompensation, reduce loss to follow-up and avoid delayed medical referrals. Patients with cirrhosis testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 were admitted for inpatient care if another poor prognostic factor was present, such as cardiovascular diseases, Child B/C or HCC and they were managed in COVID-19 Units by multidisciplinary teams. This protocol, mostly mirroring the EASL position paper, shows that the level of care to cirrhotic patients could be maintained during the pandemic.
