SUBJECT IN FOCUS: Risk Communication guidance - COVID-19, older adults and people
with underlying medical conditions
The virus that causes COVID-19 infects people of all ages. However, evidence to date suggests that two groups of
people are at a higher risk of getting severe COVID-19 disease. These are older people (that is people over 60 years
old); and those with underlying medical conditions (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory
disease, and cancer). The risk of severe disease gradually increases with age starting from around 40 years. It’s
important that adults in this age range protect themselves and in turn protect others that may be more vulnerable.
WHO has issued advice for these two groups and for community support to ensure that they are protected from
COVID-19 without being isolated, stigmatized, left in a position of increased vulnerability or unable to access basic
provisions and social care. This advice covers the subject of receiving visitors, planning for supplies of medication and
food, going out safely in public and staying connected with others through phone calls or other means. It is essential
that these groups are supported by their communities during the COVID-19 outbreak. WHO emphasizes that all
people must protect themselves from COVID-19, which will also protect other.
