The CDC has expanded its list of medical conditions that put people at increased risk for severe COVID-19. Some of the recent additions to the list include cystic fibrosis, type 1 diabetes (in addition to type 2), moderate-to-severe asthma, dementia and other neurologic conditions, stroke/cerebrovascular disease, liver disease, overweight, and HIV infection. Previously, these were listed as conditions that "might" put a person at higher risk.
