As the risk of COVID-19 exposure stretches on, we have updated our official statement concerning working conditions for people with CLL / SLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma) that you can download for your own reference and to share with the appropriate people in your life including HR and co-workers.
Working indoors with unmasked coworkers especially in a space that might not easily allow for adequate social distancing or ventilation increases risks of contracting COVID-19, a well-documented more dangerous illness for those with CLL / SLL due to their compromised immunity.
Here is link to CLL Society’s official statement for reading and download.
Also the Job Accommodation Network has published this helpful blog post: THE ADA AND MANAGING REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION REQUESTS FROM EMPLOYEES WITH DISABILITIES IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19 in an effort to help best manage the special needs of vulnerable folks such as people living with CLL / SLL and other high risk conditions.
