Should I get a new piercing when all this Coronavirus is circulating (Based in NL)

I've been waiting a few weeks to get my shiny new cartilage piercing, and I'm scared af.

I know you're probably sick of hearing about this, but I was wondering how the coronavirus would impact my healing if I got the piercing now. I don't have coronavirus, but I am worried about maybe getting it during my healing (my immune system isn't that good, I seem to get every infection around).

Am I okay to go ahead and get it, or should I wait a few weeks? I know cartilage can be tricky, and my a** don't wanna get hospitalised. I live with 2 other people, so I can't even self-quarantine my way out of this. I thought it would be best to ask the smart people of reddit.
