Core Tip	The novel coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak, classified as a pandemic, is currently spreading throughout the world, resulting in a disruption of the healthcare system. This disruption is having a negative impact on the care of patients with chronic diseases, including children with chronic hepatitis C. In this review, we describe several efforts that have to be made by pediatric hepatologists to prioritize patient care in children with chronic hepatitis C. They include promoting telemedicine in the outpatient setting, using local laboratory testing for follow-up visits, and engaging in the home delivery of drugs for patients under antiviral therapy whenever possible.
