Abstract
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, impacts human health all over the world with high morbidity and mortality. Many chronic diseases predispose the patients to be infected, including autoimmune diseases. Despite theoretical and rare exceptions, celiac disease is not a high-risk condition for COVID-19 infection. The present review expends on those potential circumstances that put the CD patients at risk for COVID-19.
