COVID-19 and Transplant Patients

@lkeffle I do exactly the same. When our groceries are delivered we have disinfecting them down to a routine. My husband wears gloves and sprays everything and wipes it down. I wash all of the fresh produce in a vinegar bath and rinse it very thoroughly. I started doing that because I read that it helps to keep berries longer since it kills any mold spores on it, and I find that to be true. Berries definitely last longer after being given a vinegar bath.

we do exactly here in Kuwait, we wash all fruits by vinegar. it cleans the fruits and keep them fresh..

@almula, I was delighted when I saw your post! It has been a while since we connected here. I remember that you were in the process of locating a medical team. Have you made a connection for follow up care?

I am looking for someone who has had COVID19, been caregiver, or lived with someone with a positive COVID19 test. What steps did you take to disinfect the room(s) used by the COVID19 patient once out of quarantine?
If you are a transplant patient, did you do the cleaning or the laundry? Were you comfortable re-entering those areas of your home?

My situation was a little different. I was visiting a relative from out of town. After being there for 9 days, he tested positive for Covid-19. We wore our masks immediately and I headed out the next morning. I got tested as soon as I got back in the area. I was not positive. I hope this helps.

We have had COVID in the house several weeks ago. Our teenage son tested positive and was kept home. My husband had to quarantine at home with him. I continued to work, as I am an essential worker. Interestingly enough, my husband (who received a liver transplant in February) did not catch it, but I did. We did not take any special precautions (continued to live our home life as normal). As far as cleaning, I continued what I do on a regular basis. I share just to encourage others that it is possible to have it in the house, not go to extremes and not pass it on. Both my son and I have been recovered for several weeks and my husband was tested at one point and was negative. We are now well past the time when we should have passed it on. Hooray!

I am 110% convinced that we (liver transplant patients) cannot contract covid-19 due to our meds. Just my personal opinion.

Just curious if you had your spleen removed prior to transplant,?

@guidant07 not sure if you are replying to me or the original message. If you are replying to me, the answer is no. I did not have my spleen removed prior to my transplant.

Had liver transplant August 2019. I tested positive last Saturday. Feels like head cold, fatigue, lost taste for 2 days. It is back now.
