Core Tip	Gastrointestinal symptoms are frequent in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), with more severe consequences reported in elderly patients. Patients with pre-existing liver disease are at increased risk for a worse outcome, while no definitive conclusions can be drawn regarding patients with inflammatory bowel disease or suffering from pancreatic diseases. Elderly patients with digestive disorders, although the available data are limited, have no worse COVID-19 outcomes than those without these diseases.
