I have alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency, what can i do to protect myself from the coronavirus outbreak other than hand hygeine and masks?

Should be enough: At this early date the case fatality rate of this virus appears to be no worse than a common flu if that. The new nature of this germ & the area of the world it came from makes the confusion about risk high. Person to person spread has been documented among close contacts (husband & wife).
