Spring 2022 – Covid-19 update
It is an exciting time as we return to face-to-face meetings and special events. It is not unusual to have concern about what to expect for the protection of our ALS community against Covid-19. We want everyone to be safe and healthy!
For the most recent information about coronavirus (Covid-19), The ALS Association recommends that you reference the websites for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and state and local health authorities. The ALS Association has also made available a fact sheet about Covid-19 and its impact on people with ALS. For specific information about symptoms you may be experiencing or questions about personal exposure as someone living wth ALS or as a caregiver, please contact your physician directly. Thank you for your patience as we manage this rapidy shifting situation.
