We want to take up the challenge posed by Nadar and cols. in their May editorial about managing hypertension during the COVID-19 pandemic [1]. Their concern that patients with chronic illnesses would be forgotten in the fight against the paradigm of a transmissible virus and result in collateral damage reached the public domain since June [2]. In mid October the number of new confirmed cases is still increasing in the Americas, South-East Asia and Europe according to the World Health Organization [3]; lockdowns have been reinstalled in various zones and widely available vaccines are far from around the corner. In the present situation it is urgent to mitigate the collision of non-transmissible conditions with the rapid spread of the novel COVID infection by new patterns of interaction between all the protagonists involved in health care.
