Is Plaquenil an immunosuppressant? If so, am I at an increased risk of contracting COVID-19 in the context of my work?

Taking Plaquenil does not significantly suppress your immune system to the point where it would increase your risk of contracting COVID-19 in a significant way. Therefore, you are not at a higher risk than the general population for getting the virus.
