If a patient develops a COVID-19 infection, should I stop my biologic?

COVID-19

You. If a patient develops Covid-19 you should stop your biologic and only restart it once they are past, you know, the CDC guidelines of the number of days to quarantine, and as long as they don't have any residual Covid-19 symptoms. So it's really a case by case basis to sort of decide when to restart the biologic. But certainly if a patient has Covid-19 while on a biologic, the biologic should be stopped.
