Figure 2
Global map showing the proportion of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) clinics during the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic being conducted face to face, by telephone or by video consultation. The breakdown of regions is as follows: United Kingdom, Western Europe (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Faroe Islands, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, San Marino, Spain, Switzerland), Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Lithuania, Republic of Moldova, Poland, Romania, Slovenia), Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway, Sweden), India, Middle East (Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates), East Asia (China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea), Australasia (Australia, New Zealand), United States of America, Canada, South America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica), South Africa. The division of regions is largely pragmatic and based loosely on geography, health care systems and number of respondents to the survey (see Supplementary Table 1 for complete breakdown of countries).
