WHAT IS COVID-19?
• COVID-19 is the disease caused by the new coronavirus that
emerged in China in December 2019.
• COVID-19 symptoms include cough, fever or chills, shortness of
breath or difficulty breathing, muscle or body aches, sore throat,
new loss of taste or smell, diarrhea, headache, new fatigue, nausea
or vomiting and congestion or runny nose. COVID-19 can be severe,
and some cases have caused death.
• The new coronavirus can be spread from person to person. It is
diagnosed with a laboratory test.
• There is no coronavirus vaccine yet. Prevention involves frequent
hand-washing, coughing into the bend of your elbow, staying home
when you are sick and wearing a cloth face covering if you can't
practice physical distancing.
How did this new coronavirus spread to humans?
• COVID-19 appeared in Wuhan, a city in China, in December
2019. Although health officials are still tracing the exact
source of this new coronavirus, early hypotheses thought it
may be linked to a seafood market in Wuhan, China. Some
people who visited the market developed viral pneumonia
caused by the new coronavirus. A study that came out on Jan.
25, 2020, notes that the individual with the first reported case
became ill on Dec. 1, 2019, and had no link to the seafood
market. Investigations are ongoing as to how this virus
originated and spread.
To prevent the spread of COVID-19:
• Clean your hands often. Use soap and water, or an
alcohol-based hand rub.
• Maintain a safe distance from anyone who is coughing or
sneezing.
• Wear a mask when physical distancing is not possible.
• Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
• Cover your nose and mouth with your bent elbow or a
tissue when you cough or sneeze.
• Stay home if you feel unwell.
• If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek
medical attention
Is there any approved treatment for coronavirus?
• There is currently no licensed medication to cure COVID-19. If you
have symptoms, call your health care provider or COVID-19 hotline for
assistance.
