The rest of the risk categories are the same as those published by the National Institutes of Health of the United Kingdom (NHS), noting that the age of risk is 65, not 70.

The National Institutes of Health in the United Kingdom has released a list of people at high risk for coronavirus infection due to pre-existing medical conditions. Thus,
- Chronic (long-term) respiratory diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, or bronchitis.
- Chronic heart disease, such as heart failure.
- Chronic kidney disease
- Chronic liver disease, such as hepatitis.
- Chronic neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, motor neuron disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), learning disability, or cerebral palsy
- Mellitus diabetes
- Spleen disorders: for example, sickle cell disease or removal of the spleen
- People with a weakened immune system due to conditions such as HIV and AIDS, people receiving chemotherapy or steroid treatment.
- Overweight people with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher
- Pregnant women
- People over 70 years old.
Liver failure is a common condition and has been reported in up to 60% of patients with coronavirus. Most of these patients were treated with antibiotics, antiviral drugs, and steroids, which are potentially hepatotoxic.
The study concluded that the coronavirus can establish itself in the liver and cause mild to moderate inflammation and lobular apoptosis. The presence of prominent mitoses among possible hepatocytes due to hyperproliferative condition and cell cycle arrest is an essential feature of liver pathology in SARS. With a better understanding of the pathology of SARS-CoV infection, including the probability of viral replication in hepatocytes, specific therapies can be discovered to reduce viral replication and improve the clinical course of the disease.
Additionally, some people living with hepatitis B and hepatitis C also have other conditions, such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, making them at increased risk of developing a serious form of COVID-19 infection.
