isolation with copd

2 Replies

Hello people,

First time posting on here. I see much information in the media regarding self isolation for copd sufferers. I have level 2 copd and occupational asthma and am getting health concerns from my company regrading my conditions and risks associated with coronavirus. All the advice details severe copd and asthma but im wondering at what point does the cut off start. Any thoughts ?

Everyone is at risk, but you will be high risk because of lungs and airway issues. If you can work from home. Make yourself familiar with information from BLF, NHS, .gov and bbc news health, lots of information is already out there.

For further clarification you could phone the BLF helpline on monday or telephone appointment with your doctor. but really the government instructions right now (in UK) are pretty clear.

If you live outside UK you will need to follow local help and advice where you live.
