Is it safe for a SS member to go for regular checks to hospital. Due to the virus?

My immune system is low and my blood counts are all over the place. My red blood cells are immature.

Hi CG,

Some immunosuppressed Sweeties in some countries have started to self-isolate as a precaution, but not all. It will depend on Government/health guidelines and what your doctor/team say. Please contact your doctor and they should advise you on the safest course of action to take.

Take care. x
