The MAT recommends no community should stop access to alcohol during the COVID-19 pandemic, as it will result in increased pressures on the healthcare system. An unattended withdrawal from alcohol is potentially life-threatening event, with a prevalence of death resulting from this at the 5 to 8% range (higher than the COVID-19 fatality rate).
