Our response to Covid-19
The Eosinophilic Family Coalition (EFC) is closely monitoring any developments regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the potential impact on the higher-risk patients in the eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGID) community. This situation is changing rapidly and we encourage you to follow updates on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website as well as your local and state health departments website.
