To address concerns that we have been hearing from our members, CORD sent out a questionnaire to our corporate partners to learn how COVID-19 could affect their company’s support for rare disease patients in Canada, including supply of drugs for rare diseases and status of current or planned rare disease clinical trials. In addition, we queried about any potential increased risk of contracting COVID-19 or complications related to medications provided by their company. We appreciate the prompt response from these corporations, as listed below. We will update the list as we receive more information
