Those with a compromised immune system still need to take extra safety precautions
Current CDC guidelines say if you have COVID, once you are without a fever you can remove yourself from isolation. But those who are immunocompromised still need to watch out. Even though the guidelines have relaxed that doesn't mean those around you should also relax their measures of protection too.
"You're also at higher risk of having a more severe illness than someone who isn't immunocompromised, namely in part because you're at higher risk of heart disease and other complications like pneumonia," said Pitt. So no, it is false. Those who are immunocompromised are not at a lower risk of contracting COVID-19 after the relaxation of CDC guidelines.KENS 5 has brought numerous firsts to South Texas television, including being the first local station with a helicopter, the first with its own Doppler radar and the first to air a local morning news program.
