CHECK YOU Blood Pressure - if its high talk to your Doctor as soon as possible.
People with high blood pressure could be at greater risk of dying from COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, according to a doctor in China working on the outbreak.
Professor Du Bin, who was sent to the city of Wuhan where the outbreak started in December last year, told Bloombergthat of a group of 170 patients who died in the city, almost half had the condition also known as hypertension.
Du, director of the intensive care unit at Peking Union Medical College Hospital in the Chinese capital of Beijing, said on the phone from Wuhan: "That's a very high ratio."
"From what I was told by other doctors and the data I can see myself, among all the underlying diseases, hypertension is a key dangerous factor," he said.
Older people, who are an at-risk group, and those with high blood pressure are a "key focus" for him and his colleagues.
