What to do if you test positive for Covid and are immunosuppressed

@joko My husband is a kidney recipient [10/1/2016]. He has had two vaccinations plus the booster. So, for him, a positive case would be a breakthrough issue. He has told me he is going to contact his transplant team about a fourth dose of Pfizer as a second booster. At this time, he is nearing the end of a 4 week solo road trip. Exposure to lots of people, many not wearing masks, and probably not vaccinated. I put my foot down, and have a rule he must come home showing me a negative COVID test before he can come in the house. Like you, a positive case would be reported to his transplant team, as they know his medical history, then to county health officials and primary care.
As for me, I am immunocompromised due to health issues and current cancer treatments. My oncologist was very adamant at my January appointment, that I get ahold of him if I test positive at any time, to start a monoclonal regimen immediately and tweak my treatment plan.

I get my fourth shot (booster) in February. I've been easing back into settings very carefully. But got nervous when I signed up for a Yoga class and no one. Not one other person. Wore a mask. We have among the highest incidence in the state of WI despite our high vaccination rate. I cancelled the yoga course and told the instructor why.
We are all on the wire each and every day with these situations. I hope your husband comes home with a negative test. We are to see my son and daughter-in-law this weekend and they test each time they meet, but just recently began the vaccination process.
