Hello @markymark911, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I also have an autoimmune condition and feel I am a high risk patient due to that and my age. There is a discussion in the COVID-19 group that you may want to join where members are discussion questions similar to yours and also learning safe practices for the COVID-19 situation.

Hi @markymark911 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion about autoimmune diseases and COVID-19. I did this so that you can meet others who were asking a similar question about whether an autoimmune disease, such as lichen planus, might put you in a higher risk category for COVID-19.
