The COVID-19 pandemic has spread around the globe. Elderly people and those with pre-existing chronic conditions including cardiovascular disease, cancer, hypertension, respiratory conditions and diabetes appear to be at a higher risk of developing complications and are at high risk of death.
To help everyone involved in responding to this pandemic the CGCC is including some relevant links to resources relevant to people living with Chronic Conditions. The list of publications on COVID-19 and chronic conditions will be updated as these become public
