Everist Health Covid Calculator
This Everist Health COVID Calculator helps you assess your risk of COVID-19 infection based on your symptoms, exposure history, and health status. The calculator provides a risk percentage and guidance on next steps.
How to Use This Calculator
To use the Everist Health COVID Calculator:
- Enter your age in years
- Select your gender
- Check any symptoms you're experiencing (fever, cough, shortness of breath, etc.)
- Indicate if you've had recent contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19
- Select your current health status (healthy, at risk, immunocompromised)
- Click "Calculate Risk" to see your results
The calculator uses a weighted scoring system based on CDC guidelines and medical research to estimate your COVID-19 risk.
Formula Used
The COVID-19 risk percentage is calculated using the following formula:
Where:
- Age Score: 0-100 based on age (younger = lower score, older = higher score)
- Symptoms Score: Sum of selected symptoms (each symptom has a weight)
- Exposure Score: 0 (no exposure) or 50 (recent exposure)
- Health Score: 0 (healthy), 30 (at risk), or 60 (immunocompromised)
The final risk percentage is capped at 100% for maximum risk scenarios.
Interpreting Results
The calculator provides a risk percentage along with guidance on next steps:
- 0-25%: Low risk - Monitor symptoms, maintain good hygiene
- 26-50%: Moderate risk - Consider getting tested, practice social distancing
- 51-75%: High risk - Get tested immediately, isolate if possible
- 76-100%: Very high risk - Seek medical attention immediately
