Who is at Higher Risk?

Early information out of China, where COVID-19 first started, shows that some people are at higher risk of getting very sick from this illness. This includes:

• Older adults [60+]
  
• People who have serious chronic medical conditions like:
  
  • Heart disease
    
  • Diabetes
    
  • Lung disease
    

If you are at higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19, you should:

• Stock up on supplies.
  
• Take everyday precautions to keep space between yourself and others.
  
• When you go out in public, keep away from others who are sick, limit close contact and wash your hands often.
  
• Avoid crowds as much as possible.
  
• Avoid cruise travel and non-essential air travel.
  
• During a COVID-19 outbreak in your community, stay home as much as possible to further reduce your risk of being exposed.
