In this paper, based on the Italian Federation of Anticoagulation Clinics statements, we offer some advice aimed at improving patient care during COVID-19 pandemic, with particular regard to the lockdown and reopening periods. Anticoagulation Clinics (ACs) routinely manage thousands of patients taking anticoagulants, either vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), or parenteral drugs. ACs are pivotal in anticoagulation management, providing site visits for patients, remote monitoring, and integration with local health facilities [2] .The recent spreadout of the COVID-19 pandemic requires a re-organization also of ACs, to prevent person-to-person diffusion. In this phase, we recommend that all ACs actively follow up anticoagulated patients through laboratory and clinical controls. ./cache/cord-348172-q3zcn5pf.txt ./txt/cord-348172-q3zcn5pf.txt
