COVID 19: At this point, if you still have multiple symptoms it may not be advisable to return to your workplace. Cases have been reported of an individual infected by one COVID 19 strain developing another COVID 19 infection with another strain. (Man with Wuhan strain was later infected by Italian/ European strain). Since you see a number of specialists who would know more about your health ask them.

Many considerations: Maybe. Depends on what organs are affected, what meds you are taking and what your antibody titers are. You (probably) qualify for vaccine - take it. See an Infectious Diseases doc (like me) or Immunologist for more specific evaluation. Probably safest to work from home if you can
