Based on the total score, individuals with a score of 5 or higher are at an increased risk of prediabetes, meaning their blood sugar levels may be elevated but not yet high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes. The test encourages individuals with a high score to consult a doctor for further testing and suggests lifestyle changes as a preventive measure. Special risk considerations are provided for certain ethnic groups, such as African American, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian, Alaska Native, Asian American, and Pacific Islander populations.

Prevention (Africa CDC) está ciente dos comunicados de imprensa sobre os resultados preliminares de um grande ensaio clínico aleatório realizado no Reino Unido, que incluía dexametasona, um corticosteróide, como um dos medicamentos utilizados para o tratamento de doentes com COVID-19. Os investigadores relataram que a administração de dexametasona oral ou injectável resultou numa redução de cerca de um terço na mortalidade entre os doentes com COVID-19 que necessitavam de ventilação mecânica e cerca de um quinto para os doentes que necessitavam de oxigénio.
