Abstract
The project group examines the background for a potential correlation between higher risk of severe COVID-19 among patients with hypertension or diabetes. Patients in these risk groups, are often treated with the same types of drugs and this register study seeks to uncover the background for the increased sensitivity to COVID-19. The project will be able to provide new knowledge in relation to revising guidelines and give better guidance to patients in the two risk groups.
