Abstract

The purpose of this narrative review is to offer an international overview of the situation of people with  Eating Disorders and COVID-19 and what adaptations may be  made in some locations. Twenty articles were found on the topic, with a protocol proposal; a descriptive guide of suggestions on what can be done at home, remotely, during this period; and the others discussed the negative impacts on the symptoms of these disorders. This review verifies the need for specific care and adaptations to be made in the context of eating disorders in this pandemic period.
