COVID-19 Disability-Related Resources

The DRDC has put together a brief list of helpul links to information about the new coronavirus (COVID-19), which is specifically geared towards people with disability and their caregivers and families. We also wanted to share a guide for First Responders, which is a general resource for helping people with specific disabilities as well as some other conditions and situations. Finally, we have included the official CDC website that is intended for all citizens to learn more about COVID-19 and how to protect yourself and your family.
