Therefore, scientists are trying to understand the pathogenesis, clinical implications, and develop novel preventive strategies.

Objective: to evaluate the impact of age, comorbidities on the severity of Covid – 19.

Methods: retrospective cross – sectional study.

Result: presence of at least one comorbidity hypertension, diabetes individually increased the severity of Covid - 19 cases significantly (OR: 12, p = 0,000, (95%CI: 4,2 – 35,5)). Cases at the age of ≥ 50 years (OR = 4,9, p = 0,002 (95%CI: 1,78 – 13,46) were severely affected by SARS – CoV -2.
