Low WBC and Covid 19

[Hydrox]

Just wondering if having a WBC count of 3.7 would put me more at risk of fighting Covid 19 should I get it. I am going to Spain in May to walk the Comino to Santiago pilgrimage way with my family, which will take us 6 weeks. Your options would be appreciated. Thank you.

Opinions, no options, sorry.

Hi Hydrox, this really is a question for your consultant haematologist to answer, best to check with her/him. Kind regards, Maz

Depending on what lab values you are using, that is either at the bottom of the normal range or just below it. The actual degree of risk is more complex than the numbers alone. Your overall health and hx of infections needs to be taken into account as well as your WBC numbers. As Mazcd suggests - talk to your doc about your individual risks.
