Slightly low neutrophil count?!

Question: Slightly low neutrophil count?

I recently had blood work done, everything came back normal except they told me my neutrophil count is slightly lower than normal. it came back 1.6, apparently 1.8 is normal. They are going to retest next week but should I be worried? Im also getting over a virus that I had while they took the blood work. They told me not to worry but of course I am!
