Conclusion: despite the fluid character of the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the concept of chronic wound care being an essential service must be constant. Services must be kept up and running and in person assistance encouraged, with appropriate adjustments in health care services to keep them opened and prevent the spread of the virus.Quality of Life in People with Venous Ulcers and relationship with wound characteristics (in Portuguese)http://preprints.ibict.br/handle/1618034/752021-04-01T23:07:33ZPreprint title (English): Quality of Life in People with Venous Ulcers and relationship with wound characteristics (in Portuguese)
