COVID-19 Guidance

Although documented reports are lacking at this moment, Parkinson's disease patients are not at a higher risk for contracting coronavirus.

However, patients with advanced Parkinson's disease who do get COVID-19 will be more susceptible to respiratory complications, delirium, worsening of their motor symptoms, or probably unfavorable outcome.

Prevention is the key – so take all steps to minimize exposure to the disease and others who may have it.

Recommendations for Parkinson's disease patients

1. Stock the "Aware in Care kit" in the event they need to educate a health care professional about their Parkinson's disease needs. Anyone interested in this can get the kit via the Parkinson's Disease Foundation website, or by calling 1-800-4PD-INFO (473-4636) for more information.
2. Have a medical alert card handy.  Information is also available on the Parkinson's Disease Foundation website.
