Because of slightly different temperature cutoffs, this checker is intended to be used by those age 11 to 65 years old.

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.
