Please read: Coronavirus and multiple sclerosis statement

Partners

The MS International Federation (also known as MSIF) has compiled information and a video (available here) which sufficiently addresses: 1) what the coronavirus is and how to protect against it; and 2) guidance for people living with MS who are taking a disease modifying therapy (DMT) and exposed to or confirmed to have the coronavirus infection. We encourage you to access this information and provide it to individuals affected by MS who may contact the Society with questions about coronavirus and MS.

Any inquiries not addressed by the information/video within the MSIF link can be sent to HealthProf_Info@nmss.org.
