Patients with compromised immune systems are generally more susceptible to viruses, including COVID-19.
You and your close contacts can take these common-sense, proactive measures to protect yourselves and those around you from COVID-19 and the flu:
Frequently wash your hands using soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If water and soap are not available, you can use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, and then throw the tissue in the trash as soon as possible.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Avoid crowds while receiving therapy.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces with household cleaning spray or wipe.
For concerns about your current treatment, talk with your physician for further guidance on the value of your therapy in the current conditions and what other options might be available to you to further limit possible infection.
