COVID 19: Mild MS should not be an issue. Per https://www.nationalmssociety.org/coronavirus-covid-19-information/multiple-sclerosis-and-coronavirus - "People with progressive MS. People with MS over the age of 60. People with higher levels of disability (for example, an EDSS score of 6 or above)" may be at higher risk of having more severe COVID outcomes."
