We developed a digital triage tool to be sent to patients to quickly identify people with high risk of COVID-19 infection. During the COVID-19 pandemic, neurologists involved in the care of people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) face a particular challenge since many of these patients (i) are on an immunotherapy, or (ii) belong-due to their disability and/or comorbidities-to the vulnerable proportion of the population, or both. Approaches to decrease the burden for health care workers and mitigate their risk (a) Empower improved handling of inbound volume (b) Reduce unnecessary visits and increase efficiency of triage protocols by proactively engaging patients through customized digital programs and care pathways. A possible way to pursue this objective is to use digital tools for surveillance and to triage patients through remote assessment of symptoms based on the US Center of Disease Control guidelines.	./cache/cord-353530-seu53c4s.txt	./txt/cord-353530-seu53c4s.txt
