Risk Factor of Coronavirus Gunshot Wound Victim?

I have a question about risk factors for coronavirus. If someone is a gunshot wound victim with partial lung extraction, a previously collapsed lung at risk if they were to contract coronavirus? And if that person is an inmate, are they more at risk of contracting coronavirus?

That person is not at more risk of contracting the coronavirus, but he might have more serious complications if he does contract it.
