Continuing psoriasis treatment under threat of Covid-19

[Fred]

We had a form to fill out passed around at work last Friday regarding the coronovirus and one of the questions was whether you suffered or had any history of the things that put you at more risk for complications from corona i.e diabetes, cancer, a weakened immune system etc.

I answered yes to this question and stated I was on methotrexate which suppresses my immune system.. in the very least I expected to be called in to the office for a chat but I haven't been.. meanwhile a colleague that suffers from diabetes (40 years old) has been sent home for atleast 2 weeks and another (60s) that has just recovered from a bout with pneumonia has been too. 

Does this seem right or should I be concerned that in the very least I haven't been spoken to? I am unsure as to how at risk I am so I am a bit baffled as to how they can make that call? Is it because I am relatively young (33) that I am not seen as being at risk?

My guess is they won't send you home if they need you as although Methotrexate can weaken your immune system, there is no advice on stopping it's use unless one gets the virus.

Could be worth talking to your boss and saying you are getting concerned, but I would say they are following current advice.
