COVID-19: Stroke Admissions, Emergency Department Visits, and Prevention Clinic Referrals.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the decrease in code strokes was mainly driven by patient-related factors such as fear to be exposed to the SARS-CoV-2, while the reduction in clinic referrals was largely explained by hospital policies and the Government lockdown.
Journal ArticleDOI
