Enroute to a patient pickup; I and the crew were notified that the patient was potentially COVID-positive.  Upon acceptance of the patient; I requested a protective suit from the ground ambulance crew.  At that point I became more concerned with protecting myself from infection and distracted from performing a complete and accurate pre-flight walkaround.  Due to this I missed the fact that the chocks were still installed and left them at the helipad at the pickup site.When unusual factors or outside distraction interfere with routine duties; ensure that pilots are aware (including me) that proper procedures and checklists are doublechecked before taking flight.
Helicopter pilot reported being distracted during preflight due to concern about avoiding COVID-19 and left the chocks at the departure heliport.
