What is COVID-19?
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) results from infection with novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and manifests as respiratory illness in infected individuals.
COVID-19 is typically spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. When these droplets are inhaled and deposited onto mucous membranes, other individuals become infected. COVID-19 can be spread whether an individual is symptomatic or asymptomatic which is why it is important to continue social distancing and mask wearing.
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are: Fever, cough, headache, fatigue, muscle or body aches, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, nausea or diarrhea.
COVID-19 can result in severe complications including: respiratory failure, organ damage, and death.
