I am a post liver transplant and have my yearly visit to Rochester in a few weeks. You all know what the lab waiting room looks like at Charlton, plus all the other waiting areas in the other buildings you have appts. in. I was pretty well in control of my mindset until it was pointed out to me that people from all over the world visit that facility every day. Has anyone heard if Mayo is taking precautionary measures to mitigate the spread of this virus on campus?

Great news, Mayo Clinic is way ahead of the game... as usual! I found out that most immune compromised patients are scheduled at the Charlton Lab. You'll run into a lot of us transplant patients, pre and post-transplant and a variety of c\Chemo/Cancer patients etc. They do this to keep the more vulnerable patients (like us) safe. The crowd you are amongst are just as precautions as you are. Occasionally someone will decide to bring a bunch of kids with them which is so dangerous but people are people.
Good luck at your check up.

@des46893 - My annual is scheduled for end of April in Rochester. I am concerned about the same thing.
Today my 24 hr urine collection kit was delivered to me. This is the first time that I have been directed to do the collection 2+ weeks early and to return a small specimen container early. Since we drive, I have always toted that jug with me.
