Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Sorry for the delay in my response,

Hypertension though not has any direct connections with coronavirus pathology. It is one of the comorbid conditions which is considered as a risk factor for the infection getting severe or increase the mortality if infected.

I would not recommend you to go for work if that involves getting in close contact with possible cases of COVID 19.

I Hope, I answered your query.

Please do ask if any doubts.
