Medical condition: Consider discussing a leave with your employer for the next few weeks. Your medical condition is a risk factor for complications, if you were to acquire COVID-19. If there are cases at your medical center, then there is a risk of illness. If you live in an area without COVID-19, then the risk is less. Follow standard hospital policies for safety.
