Hi,
Thanks for the query.
First of all I appreciate your efforts for being socially responsible.
You are doing a great job by maintaining proper hand hygiene and social distancing. Hand hygiene and social distancing are the key to prevent COVID infection.
I suggest you to switch your classes through online and it will be always better to stay at home until the situation settles. Considering your age and comorbid conditions, you are highly susceptible for complications and it will be better to avoid infection at any cost. So it will be better to stay at home and try to make classes through online.
