We have limited knowledge about this management. The Sickle Cell Disease Association of America's Medical and Research Advisory Committee has issued a provider advisory.

Also, Dr. Julie Paniepento has created a registry that can be viewed in real time here: https://covidsicklecell.org/

In general, the management of respiratory disease is similar to the management of acute chest syndrome.
