COVID-19 DISEASE AND PREVENTING TRANSMISSION
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has since spread globally, resulting in the coronavirus pandemic.
People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19: fever or chills, new loss of taste or smell, cough, muscle or body aches, sore throat, headache, congestion or runny nose, diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, or vomiting. Older adults and people who have underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease, or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness.
