Immunocompromised state (weakened immune system) from solid organ transplant
Obesity (body mass index [BMI] of 30 kg/m2 or higher but < 40 kg/m2)
Severe Obesity (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2)

PLG Member,
Here is what the documents with the Daily Status Report say about chronic conditions:
“Comorbidity Status”: Indicates whether a confirmed case has or had any comorbid or simultaneously existing diseases or underlying conditions that would make the individual more susceptible to severe outcomes. The data reflects reports to DPH during the initial report or during a case interview. Comorbidities include:
a. Chronic Lung Disease
b. Diabetes Mellitus
c. Cardiovascular Disease
d. Chronic Renal Disease
e. Chronic Liver Disease
f. Immunocompromised Condition
g. Neurologic/Neurodevelopmental Condition
h. Pregnancy
i. Other
I ask that everyone who comments use a real name in the Google address or list a real name with the comment.
Thanks.
Lee
