CoVid-19 and its effects on transplanted people
In the meantime, the Corona Pandemic has spread to almost every country in the world. Heart and lung transplant patients belong to the high risk group.
The following protective measures are recommended:

- Hygiene when coughing and sneezing
- Observance of barrier measures (at least 2 m distance from other people etc.)
- Toilet hygiene
- special kitchen and food hygiene

Important notes:
- In particular, avoid personal encounters with elderly or chronically ill people for their protection. Instead, make more use of communication by telephone, e-mail, chats, etc.

- If a person in your household is ill, if possible ensure that there is a physical separation and sufficient distance from the other persons living in the household.
