Some of the best information about MS and the coronavirus, especially if you’re on a DMD, comes straight from the horse’s mouth by Professor Gavin Giovannoni and his team at the Barts MS Research Blog. Comments in articles can also be informative. Please check it regularly as advice may alter from day to day.

      The MS Trust makes excellent information films. They've recently released one about the way enquiries for information are handled to ensure all contacts are shown the paths and choices before them. See here:       Tip: subscribe to the MS Trust YouTube channel while watching this one!   I recently visited the MS Trust offices and met the people in this film.
