Hi thanks for contacting HCM.
I am appreciating your thought about thinking of community also....
Yes you can work in hospital set up.
But while working wear protective gloves and aprons to prevent infection to other staff...
The virus is present in secretions.
So avoid contamination of any object with your secretion...
If any object contaminated by your secretion clean properly with bleach solution....
Hope your concern solved.
