Hemoglobin ?: Normal hemoglobin range for women is about 12.0 to 15.5 grams per deciliter. Mild anemia in a non-pregnant woman is usually in the range of 10.0-11.9 g/dl. The risk for more severe complications with COVID 19 is usually for more severe conditions. Because your anemia appears to be mild, it is not likely to put you at risk for significantly worse outcome.

Need to examine: You are anemic and being a woman, the most likely cause is excess blood loss in periods. Take oral iron and multivitamins. There is no such thing immune booster. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. Wish you good health!
