MS is not explicitly called out, however the MS Society website says;
However, the following groups of people with MS are more susceptible to having a severe case of COVID-19:
People with progressive MS People with MS over the age of 60 Men with MS Black people with MS and possibly South Asian people with MS People with higher levels of disability (for example, an EDSS score of 6 or above, which relates to needing to use a walking stick) People with MS and obesity (body mass index of 30 or higher), diabetes or diseases of the heart or lungs People taking certain disease modifying therapies for their MS (see MS Treatment Guidelines During Coronavirus)He ticks at least 3 of those boxes. Not even sure who to speak to. Their GP surgery is total balls.

NI seems to stick to same list as the rest of the UK.
I'd imagine MS is extremely vulnerable is that case on UK list?
Not heard any gossip but at work nearly all of us have to wait until September.
My partner has asthma but not "bad" so he's not in the list.
