Abstract

Abstract : National and local guidelines focus mainly on clozapine monitoring frequency, and actions based on full blood count results. Prescribing clozapine in the context of COVID‐19‐positive patients brings a complexity of challenge beyond this. In this article the authors put forward an example of a practical clinical guideline in this regard.
