COVID-19 What do people with immune deficiency need to do?

I am a liver transplant patient from Nevada and have concerns getting my weekly labs. I have been using LabCorp. I self quarantine in my truck until they call me on my phone to do my blood draws. I wear a face mask and open the door with a Clorox wipe and wear eye protection. I disinfect my shoes at home and wash my hands and clothes. My mail is disinfected before I touch it. Am I over reacting or is there anything else I can do besides staying at home?

@jdlogan65 Good morning. I don’t think you’re being over cautious. Maybe sterilizing the mail is a bit much, but.... When did you have your transplant? Maybe @rosemarya can advise you. She is also a liver transplant patient

@jdlogan65- I agree with @becsbuddy I think that sanitizing your mail is a bit overboard. Why not just wear gloves when you open it? Then you can use hand sanitizer after you read what you need to? By the way, how do you sanitize your mail?
