Because of slightly different temperature cutoffs, this checker is intended to be used by those age 11 to 65 years old. Those under 11 years old or over 65 years of age have somewhat lower average temperature cutoffs.

How does Coronavirus (COVID-19) affect pregnancy?

In general, pregnancy is a time of low immune function, meaning that pregnant women are usually more susceptible to illness and infection than non-pregnant women. However, there has not been any hard evidence suggesting that Coronavirus is more easily transmitted during pregnancy.

Other groups with low immune function that are at high-risk for COVID are older people, those with diabetes, heart disease, HIV infection, or high blood pressure, and anyone who has long-term use of immunosuppressive agents.
