Understanding your COVID-19 risk based on age is an important step in protecting yourself and others. This calculator provides a simple way to estimate your risk level and learn about appropriate precautions.

How to Use This Calculator

Using the Everist Health COVID Age Risk Calculator is straightforward:

Enter your age in the provided field
Click the "Calculate" button
Review your risk level and recommended precautions

The calculator will provide you with a risk assessment based on age-related vulnerability to COVID-19. Remember that this is an estimate and individual factors may affect your actual risk.

How the COVID Age Risk Calculation Works

COVID-19 risk increases with age due to factors like weakened immune response and underlying health conditions. The calculator uses age-based risk categories established by health authorities:

Risk Categories

Under 18: Low risk
18-49: Medium risk
50-64: High risk
65+: Very high risk

These categories are based on data from the World Health Organization and CDC, which show that older adults are at greater risk of severe illness and complications from COVID-19.

Note: Actual risk may vary based on individual health status, vaccination status, and other factors not accounted for in this simple calculator.

How to Interpret Your Results

Your risk level will be displayed as one of four categories:

Risk Level	Age Range	Recommended Precautions
Low	Under 18	Follow general hygiene practices, stay home if sick
Medium	18-49	Wear masks in crowded places, practice social distancing
High	50-64	Wear masks indoors, avoid large gatherings, get vaccinated
Very High	65+	Wear masks at all times, limit contact with others, get vaccinated and boosted

Remember that this is a general estimate. Individual health status may affect your actual risk level.
