Heart block and corona virus

My work as a library assistant means I'm in close contact with my customers. Do you think having 3rd degree heart block and a pm puts me at higher risk as far as coronavirus goes?

Can’t answer that but same here, even though I’m slightly different. I had blocks 1&11 so have a pm, also had radio active iodine in 2018 to finish off my thyroid, so am I in the ‘vulnerable group ‘? It’s hard to get answers.

I would say for ANYONE, close contact with customers is inadvisable no matter if you have health problems. As my GP said, avoid people, wash your hands and don't touch your face.
