Hi, you are not in the highest risk category, but are certainly vulnerable and need to keep that social distance (2m) away from others you don’t live with and I would suggest if you don’t have any personal protection such as gloves, that you source these ASAP as additional protection.
Take care and stay safe.
Do I need to stay away from work for 12 weeks ?

I have a heart or circulatory condition – am I at increased risk of coronavirus?
We know that this is a frightening time for lots of people, especially if you have an existing health problem. Most people with coronavirus (Covid-19) have mild symptoms and make a full recovery. Having a heart and circulatory condition probably doesn’t make you any more likely to catch coronavirus than anyone else. But if you have a heart condition it may mean that you could get more ill if you catch it, which is why it’s really important to protect yourself.
Anyone with a heart condition is considered high risk of more severe complications of Covid 19 coronavirus.
It’s important you keep up to date with the government’s advice.
