Yes!: While anyone can catch coronavirus, your age and asthma ( not your cancer history) make you high risk for having severe symptoms from it. Wash your hands frequently and stay at least 6 feet away from people outside your family. Wear a mask or a bandanna outside of your truck. Keep hand sanitizer in your cab and use it every time you get back in. Just be extra careful! Good luck to you!
