Risk of COVID-19 transmission in esophageal, anorectal manometry and 24-hour impedance-pH monitoring.

Background: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the interruption of most manometry or impedance-pH monitoring studies. The risk of restarting activities is unknown.

Objective: assess the risk of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection, both to patients and healthcare workers, in relation to esophageal and anorectal functional tests during the pandemic without protective measures.
