Coronavirus is clearly spreading throughout the UK. General advice is constantly updated in daily news and on the internet. Through the Association of British Neurologists (ABN), MS experts have issued specific advice for people who have MS and who take disease modifying drugs.
We understand that there may be confusion or concern especially for those who already have an underlying health condition such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
A great video from the BBC on the collaboration between @theroyalballet and @RoyalOperaHouse that they hope will improve peoples understanding of MS.
Do you have multiple sclerosis? Have you been prescribed a disease modifying drug for your MS? Keep abreast of developments and advice for those taking MS drugs especially if you are on drugs that are given by infusion. Monitoring by your clinical team is important and monitoring activities are constantly updated. Your local MS care team will be able to advise you of any changes affecting you.

A recent report shows that the infection is spreading quite quickly at present but the actual number of people who have confirmed disease is still very low outside a few “hot-spots”. However there is some question over how many “carriers” (undiagnosed cases) there might be in the community.
