This 20-page document provides an initial review of emerging information (as July 2, 2020) on the relations among COVID-19, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and NCD risk factors. It demonstrates that people living with NCDs are at higher risk of severe COVID-19-related illness and death and that there are limited data for estimating risk. It was published with the United Nations Development Programme, and the UN Interagency Task Force on NCDs. (PDF)
