DESCRIPTION
People with Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities (IDD) are a vulnerable population and are more likely to have underlying health problems, which make them high risk during this COVID-19 pandemic. People with IDD are also in frequent contact with one another in residential and day program settings, making it very easy to spread the virus within the population. It’s important to have a well-thought-out plan to limit the spread and complications.
