Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Welcome to the Sepsis Alliance COVID-19 information page.

Do you have questions about COVID-19 and how it relates to sepsis? There is a lot of information going around about COVID-19 and the novel coronavirus, the virus that causes the disease. And while not a lot is known about the virus and how to treat it, we do know that COVID-19, like any type of infection, can and does cause viral sepsis in some people.

We will update this page as new information becomes available. Please check back regularly and share our news and resources with others who may find it useful.

We hope this information has been useful. Thanks to all of the past generous support received from you, our community, we have been able to stay on top of new information, providing as many resources as possible to healthcare providers, sepsis survivors, and the public.

We will continue to provide relevant and timely information on this pandemic. If you are able, we ask that you consider a gift to Sepsis Alliance today, to help us continue in this mission to provide education to healthcare providers, support to providers, sepsis survivors, and all those affected by sepsis.

In the near future, there will likely be many COVID-19 patients who are sepsis survivors, and they will need the support of our strong community. Your gifts will help us prepare to give them that and more. Thank you for your help during this challenging time.
