Table 1. Examples of “At Increased Risk” Messages About Coronavirus From Three National Health Authorities.

Health authority	Coronavirus/COVID-19 risk message
Note. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention message is clear on what is “at increased risk” whereas the Australian version is more ambiguous, with the U.K. NHS message being in between. Information gathered as of April 30, 2020 (Australian Government Department of Health, 2020; Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, 2020b; UK National Health Service, 2020). Public authorities may have changed the wording on their websites since. COVID-19 = coronavirus disease.
National Health Service (U.K.)	Coronavirus can make anyone seriously ill. But some people are at a higher risk and need to take extra steps to avoid becoming unwell.
	People at increased risk
	You may be at increased risk from coronavirus if you:
	• are 70 or older
	• are pregnant
	• have a condition that may increase your risk from coronavirus
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.)	Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing serious complications from COVID-19 illness.
