Am I at Higher Risk for Severe Illness from COVID-19? | CDC

Wear a mask. Protect Others.

8 out of 10 COVID-19 deaths reported in the U.S. have been in adults 65 years old and older.



During the COVID-19 pandemic, multi-generational families are concerned about increased risk to the whole family, including older adults. While there is no way to ensure zero risk of infection, it is important to understand potential risks and how to adopt different types of prevention measures to protect your family and to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.



  • Develop a plan as a family to protect household members who are at increased risk for severe illness.
  • Everyone in the family, especially older adults and others at increased risk of severe illness, should take steps to protect themselves from getting COVID-19. 
  • Learn about the other factors that can increase your risk for severe illness, such as having underlying medical conditions. By understanding the factors that put you at an increased risk, you can make decisions about what kind of precautions to take in your daily life.
