We're aware the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is causing significant concern, particularly within the cystic fibrosis community. The outbreak is a developing situation, and we are working with a panel of experts to answer some of the questions our community has been asking. The following page is intended to consolidate information and advice for the New Zealand CF community on COVID-19, so you can be informed when taking steps to protect yourself and your loved ones living with cystic fibrosis.
