Is ET a risk factor in Covid itself? Or is the relevance of risk increased for those using cytoreductive drugs. (Hydroxycarbamide)?

hello Peachjoy, you can read the advice we issued for people with MPNs here mpnvoice.org.uk/coronavirus...

and the advice from the government for people who were classed as clinically extremely vulnerable was updated on 24 Dec, you can read it here - this is for England, there is also advice for those living in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

England - gov.uk/government/publicati...

Scotland - gov.scot/publications/covid...

Wales - gov.wales/shielding-extreme...

Northern Ireland - nidirect.gov.uk/articles/co...
