Question
My husband is going to the hospital for a surgery. No one is allowed while he’s there. I have CLL and not treated yet. Any recommendations how to stay safe for home care. Mostly what are you finding with CLL patients in general who get this virus.
Answer
I hope you got an answer during our recent webinar.
All CLL patients are at higher risk for serious outcomes with COVID-19 and you need to follow the guidelines in place for vulnerable populations. The UK has helpful recommendations: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19/guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19, especially the section on: What should you do if you have someone else living with you?
