A member asked:
I have itp, last platelet count 75, i'm expected to be in an office with 500+ employees. is this safe during this covid-19 pandemic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely safe: COVID 19 can, in severe cases, cause clot formation or DIC and further drop your platelet counts. This occurs in the mire severe cases. There is a risk but low depending on the community you live in
