Are there activities that could suppress my immune system and make it more likely for me to get covid-19?

No: There aren't "activities" that cause immunosuppression. There are underlying diseases and medications that cause immunosuppression.

Covid 19: Can't really think of specific activities that would suppress your immune system. However, there are many activities that could expose you to COVID 19 & increase your chance of getting infected.
