While the U.S. Government considers this a serious public health concern, based on current information, the CDC has determined that the immediate health risk from COVID-19 to the general American public is considered low at this time. People in communities where ongoing community spread with the virus that causes COVID-19 has been reported are at elevated though still relatively low risk of exposure. Travelers returning from affected international locations, close contacts of persons with COVID-19, and healthcare workers caring for patients with COVID-19 are at elevated risk of exposure.
