Welcome to Connect, @dhelmstetter. Congratulations on being considered for transplant evaluation. Do you already have a scheduled appointment? Have you heard from your transplant center regarding this?
Here is Mayo's current policy: "Mayo Clinic's response to the COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly evolving, with significant potential for travel restrictions and advisories. Depending on your circumstances, your care team may recommend that you delay your appointment at Mayo Clinic or seek care closer to home. Alternatively, phone call assessments or video visits may be able to replace face-to-face visits during this time. You may be contacted by your care team to discuss options that are best for you."
