I (think I) read somewhere earlier that if you have Rheumatoid Arthritis you’re classed as high risk (presumably from the medication you take?). Can anyone confirm this for me please or have I imagined it?

I’d like to know as well. I have RA but I’m not taking methotrexate. I take Hydroxychloroquine instead which interestingly is being trialled in China/Japan as a drug to treat Covid 19. I’m also a TA so at the moment at least I need to be at school.
