For anyone getting questions from patients or providers on patients on warfarin and trying to limit testing to limit COVID-19 spread:

This link brings you to the Anticoagulation Forum, Anticoagulation Centers of Excellence COVID-19 page. A couple really good resources for pharmacists under education and tools including a couple recordings of webinars and documents of what some institutions around the country are doing to help monitor INR for their warfarin patients with home health and how to switch warfarin patients to DOACs to limit required testing.

For anyone getting questions from patients regarding COVID-19 and pregnancy here are some good resources:

The CDC website on pregnancy and COVID-19. Many of the questions asked about pregnancy and COVID-19 do not have an answer at this time but as information becomes available CDC will update the website.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/pregnancy-breastfeeding.html

A study of 33 pregnant women in China who were diagnosed with COVD-19 and gave birth.

The ACOG website on COVID-19

CDC guidelines on who to test for COVID-19

The link for the CDC guidance is different than the Rhode Island guidance. You can find the recommendations on who gets a test and how to get them a test at the RIDOH page here:
