COVID-19 and people with disabilities in Canada (Public Health Agency of Canada)
Some people with disabilities might be at a higher risk of infection or severe illness because of their age, underlying medical conditions or their disability which could put them at greater risk of being exposed and acquiring the infection.
It is very important that those who work and live with those with disabilities are aware of the considerations needed during COVID-19 and this website provides them with a series of recommendations and information on the following subjects:
- Protecting people with disabilities from COVID-19
- COVID-19 assessment centres
- Infection prevention and control measures and personal protective equipment
- Mental health
- COVID-19 disability advisory group (CDAG)
