I already have an infection. Does that make me more likely to get COVID-19?

If you are worried that you are more vulnerable it is worth speaking to your GP. You might also consider self isolating to shield you from the risk of catching the COVID-19. Anyone who is immuno-suppressed is considered to be at more risk from COVID-19. However, these are usually people treated with drugs which suppress the immune system. Antibiotics are not in this category.

One of the best things you can do is to support your immune system and strengthen it. The NHS advice includes trying to eat well, hydrate properly, take regular exercise and get enough rest and sleep.
