There’s no way to know for sure how COVID will affect you. But there are certain factors that make some people more likely than others to get very sick:
• Older age—risk for severe illness from COVID increases with age, especially for people 50 and older.
• Compromised or weakened immune system—either due to a medical condition or medication that weakens the
immune system, such as chemotherapy or corticosteroids.
• Certain health issues— having one or more particular health issues increases your risk more than others. And the more you have, the higher your risk.

Don’t wait. It’s important to get tested quickly if you have symptoms of COVID. Prescription treatments need to be started within days after your symptoms start.
Even if your symptoms are mild, treating your COVID early with medicine prescribed by a doctor or authorized health care provider can make your infection less severe and help keep you out of the hospital.
It could save your life.
