Has anyone had Covid whilst on Actemra and 20mg Prednisone?

Fingers crossed I don't get Covid but it is rampant in the area I live so am being very cautious and feeling rather vulnerable. I have GCA and am at the stage of reducing from 60 to 20mg Pred and having weekly Actemra injections. Just wanted to ask if anyone has had Covid whilst taking the same meds ? And if so how did you cope and do you have any suggestions to help ease things?
