The risk depends on where you are or whether there is a COVID-19 outbreak occurring there.
For most of the people in most of the locations the risk of catching COVID-19 is still very low. However, there are now cities and areas around the world where the disease is rapidly spreading, taking a toll on normal day to day life. People living in , or visiting, these areas are at higher risk of catching COVID-19. You need to restrict your movement to such areas to reduce your risk of catching or spreading COVID-19 and also to contain the infection and stop the transmission.
Also, people with weaker immune system are more likely to develop serious illness, such as:

1. Older people
2. Immunocompromised individuals
3. People with cardiovascular diseases
4. Diabetics
5. People with chronic respiratory disorders
6. Patients with Malignancies

COVID-19 can affect anyone, but older people and individuals with underlying medical conditions (such as diabetes, lung diseases, high blood pressure, heart disease or malignancy) appear to develop serious illness more in comparison to others.
