Sarah Hyland reveals how she is at higher risk for contracting coronavirus after undergoing kidney transplants: ‘My panic level is pretty high’

Sarah Hyland has been open in the past about her health struggles, suffering from kidney dysplasia and endometriosis.

She opened up to Brad Goreski about how her health history puts her at a higher risk for contracting the disease known as COVID-19.

The 29-year-old chatted with her pal Brad on an upcoming episode of his podcast Brad Behavior, according to People.

She told the celebrity stylist: ‘I am obviously immunocompromised with my transplant history and am on immunosuppressants, so everything in this house is sanitized. I just took a shot of hand sanitizer, so we’re good.’

Hyland underwent a kidney transplant from her father in 2012, before having another one from her younger brother Ian in 2017, after the first one failed.

Over the past year, she took to social media during a couple of emergency room visits, one resulting from a mystery choking illness.

She explained: ‘Say someone gets a 24-hour bug, I get it for a week or more. For me, it’s really dangerous.

‘My panic level is pretty high, but I also have a lot of health issues that are very susceptible to stress, so I’m trying to remain calm.’

The brunette beauty continued: ‘My game plan right now is to stay home. I’m just staying home.’

She also expressed her frustration over the unnecessary panic that continues to ensue over the growing pandemic.

Hyland said: ‘The most annoying thing to me right now are young, healthy people who are raiding grocery stores, who are raiding pharmacies.

‘They’re leaving people over the age of 60, who may not have a child to do their shopping for them, left to their own devices.’
