We studied by questionnaire 530 subjects with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) in Hubei Province during the recent SARS-CoV-2 epidemic. Co-variates associated with an increased risk of developing COVID-19 amongst persons with CML were exposure to someone infected with SARS-CoV-2 (P = 0.037), no complete haematologic response (P = 0.003) and co-morbidity(ies) (P = 0.024).
As the UK and the world see many more people test positive for COVID-19 You can help collect important data with this free symptom tracker by monitoring your day to day health and wellbeing.  
It is important to note that the questions and answers below refer to chronic phase CML. Management of accelerated phase, blast crisis or post-transplant should be discussed in detail with the clinical team.

Thank you to everyone who completed our recent survey investigating App use and functionality in the setting of CML.
We were overwhelmed by the number of responses and our final total of 286 (from every corner of the globe!) was far greater than we had expected.
Our key findings were that just under a quarter of respondents were aware that Apps are available to support patients in managing their CML - however, only 1 in 9 respondents had actually used an App.
