Every year on May 19, the global IBD community comes together to #StepUp4IBD and raise awareness of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis for World IBD Day. This day of observance usually involves video chats, patient stories, memes, and other ways to highlight these invisible illnesses. And while some of that is still part of our observance this year, we wanted to highlight an even more pressing issue – the impact that COVID-19 has had on IBD patients around the world.
