COVID-19 Information for Specific Groups of People

Updated Mar. 25, 2022

If you or your family member are at high risk for severe illness, wear a mask or respirator with greater protection in public indoor spaces if you are in an area with a high COVID-19 Community Level. Talk with your healthcare provider about wearing a mask in a medium COVID-19 Community Level.

If you test positive and are an older adult or someone who is at high risk of getting very sick from COVID-19, treatment may be available. Contact a healthcare provider right away after a positive test to determine if you are eligible, even if your symptoms are mild right now. You can also visit a Test to Treat location and, if eligible, receive a prescription from a provider. Don’t delay: Treatment must be started within the first few days to be effective.

Vaccine Information for different groups of people.

At Increased Risk for Severe Illness

Some people are more likely than others to become severely ill.
Severe illness means that a person with COVID-19 may need: hospitalization, intensive care, a ventilator to help them breathe or they may even die.
People at increased risk, and those who live or visit with them, need to take precautions to protect themselves from getting COVID-19.
Treatment may be available that could lower your chance of becoming very sick. Ask your healthcare provider if you may be eligible for treatments.
