If you have lung cancer and are tested for COVID-19 and receive a positive result you will need to self-isolate. Talk to your oncologist and healthcare team - they will be able to provide advice that is specific to you, including any changes to your management plan, and when you can stop self-isolation.
Whilst most people diagnosed with COVID-19 will only develop mild symptoms and not require hospitalisation, people living with lung cancer are at higher risk of developing more severe symptoms and requiring hospitalisation, particularly if you are currently receiving treatment and your immune system is weakened.
