Share of U.S. COVID-19 patients who died from Jan-May, 2020, by health condition

It was estimated that around 20 percent of those with underlying health conditions who had COVID-19 in the United States from January 22 to May 30, 2020 died from the disease, compared to just 2 percent of COVID-patients without underlying health conditions. Underlying health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, chronic lung disease, or diabetes greatly increase the chance of death due to COVID-19. This statistic shows the percentage of people in the U.S. who had COVID-19 from January 22 to May 30, 2020 with and without underlying health conditions who died, by age.For further information about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.

据估算，在2020年1月22日至5月30日期间，美国约20%的患有潜在健康问题的COVID-19患者因该疾病去世，而未患有潜在健康问题的COVID-19患者中仅有2%死亡。心血管疾病、慢性肺部疾病或糖尿病等潜在健康问题显著增加了因COVID-19而死亡的风险。此统计数据展示了在上述时间段内，美国患有COVID-19的患者中，根据年龄分组，患有及未患有潜在健康问题者死亡的比例。欲了解更多关于冠状病毒（COVID-19）大流行的信息，请访问我们的专门事实和数据页面。
