People with #disability may be at greater risk of contracting #COVID19 because:
• Physical barriers to use basic hygiene facilities
• Need to touch things
• Difficulty in enacting social distancing
• Barriers to accessing public health & #coronavirus information
Depending on their health condition, people with #disability may have risks of developing more severe cases of #coronavirus because #COVID19 exacerbates existing health conditions, particularly related to respiratory functions, immune system, heart disease or diabetes.
People with #disability can reduce their potential exposure to #COVID19 by:
• Avoiding crowded environments
• Disinfecting assistive products frequently
• Working from home
• Gathering urgent items such as food, cleaning supplies, medication or medical supplies

During #COVID19 people with #disability should put a plan in place to ensure continuation of the care and support they need, including considering increasing the pool of caregivers they can call upon
