What is COVID-19?

COVID-19 is a virus that can cause respiratory symptoms similar to seasonal flu, such as fever, cough and shortness of breath. Disease severity can range from mild to critical depending on individual risk. According to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), while COVID-19 has a high transmission rate, it has a low mortality rate. There are several types of coronavirus; COVID-19 is only one (recently identified) type. Most people who become ill from coronaviruses that circulate in the U.S. recover on their own. Some people, particularly those with underlying health problems, the elderly or those with severe symptoms require more intensive medical care for COVID-19.

Protect Yourself & Your Family:  

Use everyday preventive actions to keep from catching an infection, including novel coronavirus:

  • Stay Up to Date with vaccinations for COVID-19 and other seasonal respiratory illnesses.

  • Stay home when you are sick and get tested for COVID-19.  Stay away from work, school, and other people if you become sick.

  • Wear a mask around others when you are feeling sick. 

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. 

  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. 

  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects.
