Coronavirus implications for survivors of pulmonary embolism and on rivaroxaban

[Penpop]

I am still not clear if we should be considered as high risk for coronavirus complications having survived two cases of pulmonary embolisms and now on rivaroxaban for life. Loss of lung capacity would indicate that Covid would have a bad effect on lungs, and breathing but not told to shield?

Have a look on the thrombosis UK website and they will explain it to you.

Long term lung damage puts you at higher risk for developing complications of C-19 says dr. Weitz here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=uV9of...(Not working as expected?)
