CDC. COVID-19 Questions and Answers: For People Who Use Drugs or Have Substance Use Disorder

Having a substance use disorder can make you more likely to get severely ill from COVID-19.  People who use drugs may also have underlying medical conditions that put them at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19, and they may have concerns and questions related to their risk. Additionally, recent data and reports show that fatal drug overdoses in the United States have been increasing before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation and CDC will provide updated information as it becomes available.

Sanofi.Substitution und Corona-Virus - Unterstützung für Ihre PatientInnen

Die Zahl der Patienten, die sich mit dem neuartigen Corona-Virus SARS-CoV-2 infiziert haben, steigt in Deutschland weiter an. Derzeit wird daher versucht, Infektionsketten zu unterbrechen und Infektions- sowie Verdachtsfälle schnell zu erkennen und zu isolieren, um die weitere Verbreitung des Virus einzudämmen. Viele Suchtpatient*innen gehören zur Hoch-Risikogruppe, da sie häufig zusätzlich an anderen chronischen Begleiterkrankungen leiden. Deshalb ist es gerade für Sie immens wichtig, über Maßnahmen und Hygiene-Regeln informiert zu sein und so das Risiko einer Corona-Infektion zu verringern. 

Diese Informationen hat Sanofi als Unterstützung für Ärzte und Apotheker im Patientenflyer „Substitution und Corona-Virus“ kurz und knapp zusammengefasst, der ausgedruckt an Patienten verteilt werden kann.
