If you can work from home do it. If you can not can you afford to take time off and will your job honor that.

You are at no more risk than anybody else, but if contracted you are more vulnerable to the effects of Covid 19.

CKD compromises your immune system and the ability to fight off Covid 19.

Err on the side of caution and take all the precautions you can.

Cheers
