Unfortunately you dont want to catch anything that could jeopardize your SCT. 2 months is a long time. I got covid again about a month ago and while the symptoms were not severe, it took almost 3 weeks to fully recover.
Good luck and be careful.

You can not have a fever / infection at the time of your SCT, so you want to be cautious as to where you go and who you are around. Be as healthy as you can be leading up to your SCT. The 100 days following the SCT are equally important when it comes to avoiding any types of infection.

It's best to avoid large gatherings and crowded places, especially in closed areas, as you prepare for a bone marrow transplant. Being in such environments increases your risk of infections, which can complicate your treatment and recovery. If you must go, wear a mask and maintain distance from anyone who appears sick.
