Abstract
Patients receiving facility-based hemodialysis represent a unique and vulnerable population during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. These individuals require life-sustaining treatment on average 3 times weekly at a dialysis center and cannot remain isolated at home. For each treatment, patients regularly interact with transportation workers, other dialysis patients, and members of the health care team. This places them at heightened risk for acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.
