I was furloughed from the hospital I work for due to their reduced business. If they call me back to work, but it will put me at risk for COVID-19, will I lose my WI unemployment benefits if I refuse to go start back to work in that job?

I'm a social worker doing face to face visits at homes and the hospital. I am in my 60's, have 3 of the 5 high risk medical conditions that correlate with severe COVID symptoms and poor outcomes, i.e., heart disease, COPD, and kidney disease. If I get COVID, I'm likely not going to survive. Returning to my regular duties will very likely expose me to COVID, and will be beyond my control.
