We suggest that home dialysis be preferentially offered to all patients who require chronic kidney replacement therapy, as a means of reducing COVID-19 transmission risk to themselves, to other patients, and to health care workers, by reducing contact with clinics and hospitals, compared with in-center HD. We have also suggested surgical mask use when members of the health team must interact with home dialysis patients due to the high risk of COVID-19 complications in this population. ./cache/cord-315574-jq1p5t8w.txt ./txt/cord-315574-jq1p5t8w.txt
