Impact of COVID-19 on the liver and on the care of patients with chronic liver disease, hepatobiliary cancer, and liver transplantation: An updated EASL position paper.

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a serious challenge to the hepatology community, particularly healthcare professionals and patients.
