We read the Comment by Chao Zhang and colleagues1 in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology on liver injury in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with great interest. Given that patients with decompensated cirrhosis have a higher risk of, and mortality from, infection, preventing infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in this patient population is a challenging task.2 We provide our experience of COVID-19 prevention in patients with decompensated cirrhosis in Wuhan, China.
