While older adults are at increased risk of
more serious complications from COVID-19 infection,
people of all ages can be infected by the
virus.
Older people and people with pre-existing
medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes,
and heart disease are at higher risk of becoming
severely ill with the virus.
However, children are just as likely as adults
to become infected.
Therefore, we all need to take precautions
to avoid becoming infected with the virus,
like washing our hands and social distancing.
