Mask: Your underlying condition places you at higher risk. CD counts and viral loads may vary. The use of the mask is important when you are outdoors. If household members are well otherwise, stay inside as much as possible and stay well hydrated. Watch for fever, flu like illness, dry cough and shortness of breath. Please seek medical care if these symptoms occur. Stay at least 6 feet away from others
