Although documented reports are lacking at this moment, Parkinson's disease patients are not at a higher risk for contracting coronavirus.

However, patients with advanced Parkinson's disease who do get COVID-19 will be more susceptible to respiratory complications, delirium, worsening of their motor symptoms, or probably unfavorable outcome.

Prevention is the key – so take all steps to minimize exposure to the disease and others who may have it.
