The guidance from the Association of British Neurologists indicates any neurological condition that affects swallowing or breathing might increase the severity of COVID-19 infection, therefore the following precautions should be taken:

Social distancing is recommended for all people with any neurological condition, their carers and family.

Self-isolation is recommended for people in the high-risk category.
