Having end stage renal disease (ESRD) makes you more vulnerable to severe illness from COVID-19. It might feel scary as you venture outside your home for dialysis treatment. You can stay safe by wearing masks, observing social distancing, and staying current with their treatment. We also urge you to look beyond the mask of the clinicians wearing personal protective equipment (PPE). Your caretakers are committed to keeping you safe and healthy.
