I have other questions. What should I do?

Please try to use online information from trusted websites before contacting your rheumatology team as we are exceptionally busy. Trusted websites with coronavirus information include:

Whilst social media can be helpful, please be aware not all information on social media is reliable or accurate. Please use trusted websites for health information rather than social media (twitter, Facebook etc.).
