The news from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about the escalated global public health threat of COVID-19, formally known as the novel coronavirus or 2019-nCoV, is top of mind for us at UnitedHealth Group. There has been a lot of coverage worldwide about the virus, which can be unsettling for you and your loved ones.
While it is still too early to fully understand COVID-19, our number-one priority is to support the health and safety of our members and patients. We have been monitoring this evolving situation closely and have a team of experts working around the clock to ensure we are doing everything possible to keep people safe and support the health of those we are privileged to serve. Our preparation activities are enabled by our sophisticated tracking systems, and leverage the latest clinical insights, technology, and analytics.
We do expect more cases of COVID-19 to be diagnosed, much like the other epidemics that we have experienced over the last 15 years. It is important to know that 80% of COVID-19 cases are mild or without symptoms. Like the seasonal flu, COVID-19 infection is more severe in patients with chronic underlying health conditions and the elderly. For the most updated information about COVID-19, I encourage you to visit the CDC’s Share the Facts, Stop the Fear page.
