Specializes in Pediatrics

COVID high risk: People with "serious underlying conditions" especially if poorly controlled are at higher risk for severe disease if they are exposed. Best bet is to minimize your risk of exposure. CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/people-at-higher-risk.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fspecific-groups%2Fhigh-risk-complications.html
