Osteoporosis Patients: What Changes Due to the Pandemic
We would like to thank www.kalimeraellada.gr for publishing our article titled: Osteoporosis Patients: What Changes Due to the Pandemic.
A brief overview of the article:

Out of fear or misinformation, many wonder whether they should continue their treatment, if they belong to high-risk groups, or if they should keep their scheduled doctor visits. Osteoporosis patients are among these individuals.
It is important to understand that these patients do not belong to high-risk groups. Osteoporosis does not increase the risk of contracting COVID-19 or experiencing severe complications. However, they may have underlying health conditions, which is why they should remain cautious.
