by Holly Schaack, PharmD, Mary Frances Picone, PharmD, BCPS, Sara Revolinski, PharmD, BCPS, Sara Worzella, PharmD

"Since the first case was reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) on December 31, 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19), has left few aspects of our society untouched.1 As the death toll in the United States has risen to over 130,000 people, protective measures have been implemented to try to slow spread of the virus.2,3 Many aspects of community pharmacy have changed due to COVID-19 to protect patients. Physically, stores and hospitals have changed by implementing barriers and mandatory masks for staff.3Yet, the biggest safeguards present in community and acute care pharmacies are the pharmacists who review medications for accuracy and appropriateness."

Keywords: United States, Torsades de Pointes, COVID-19, Azithromycin, Hydroxychloroquine, Bradycardia, Pharmacies, Pharmacists, Coronavirus, Heart Rate, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, Coronavirus Infections, Electrocardiography, Long QT, Syndrome, Death, Sudden, Cardiac, World Health Organization
