You did not say why you are taking it and for how long. It does compromise the immune system so you are at greater risk but impossible to say how much without knowing more about you. Tell your Drs. If you have ANY problem breathing go to ER or urgent care for an O2 check. Stay isolated and wear a mask when around anyone. And practice DDD = Death Defying Distancing.

Self isolate, drink fluids and rest Monitor breathing and temperature. The steroid course should be completed since there is only one additional day. The reason for the steroids is not stated, but if you have COPD or asthma, follow respiratory plan. If you have medical conditions, discuss the use of a monoclonal antibody treatment with your physician.
