The COVID-19 pandemic has been a challenging time for everyone, particularly those with chronic health conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS), because of concerns about possible increased risk of serious illness.
The good news is that simply having MS doesn’t make a person more likely to become infected with COVID-19 or to have a severe case or die from it. But some groups of people with MS are more likely to become seriously ill if they get COVID-19. Those include people with progressive MS; people over age 60; men; Black Americans and possibly people of South Asian ancestry; people with higher levels of MS-related disability; people who have obesity, diabetes, or heart or lung disease; and people who take certain disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS).
