COVID-19 FAQs
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus that was first identified during an investigation into an outbreak in Wuhan, China.
Patients with COVID-19 have had mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of fever, cough, and shortness of breath. According to the CDC, it may take 2 to 14 days following exposure to COVID-19 for symptoms to develop.
There is currently no vaccine to protect against COVID-19. The best way to prevent infection is to take everyday preventive actions such as:
- Wash your hands with soap and water for 20+ seconds
- Use hand sanitizer with 60% alcohol
- Avoid close personal contact with others, such as shaking hands
- Practice social distancing by keeping 6 feet from other individuals
- Avoid crowded, public spaces
- Avoid touching your face
- Avoid contact with those who are sick or may be sick
- Cancel non-essential travel (both foreign and domestic)
- Clean all high-touch surfaces frequently
There is no specific antiviral treatment for COVID-19. People with COVID-19 can seek medical care to help relieve symptoms.
Seek medical advice – Call ahead before you go to a doctor’s office or emergency room. Tell them about your recent travel and your symptoms.
Avoid contact with others.
Not travel on public transportation while sick.
Yes. Most individuals with the virus will recover at home. As of March 14, 72,000 individuals have recovered from COVID-19.
Health experts are still learning the details regarding how COVID-19 spreads. Transmission most likely occurs through:
The air by coughing and sneezing
Close personal contact
Touching an object/surface with the virus on it and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth
The CDC reports that COVID-19 may survive on various surfaces for hours to days, which is why cleaning all high-touch surfaces is recommended daily.
Older adults, nursing home residents, healthcare professionals, immunocompromised individuals, and people with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, lung disease or a heart condition.
If you are feeling sick please stay at home and call your primary care doctor or local hospital hotline.
If you have a fever and a cough AND are experiencing any of the following go immediately to the emergency department or call 911 for EMS:
- Difficulty breathing
- Confusion
- Weakness
- Chest pain
If you have a cough and no fever or are concerned that you may have been exposed to someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19:
- Contact your primary care physician by phone (don’t go unannounced) or
- Seek a telemedicine evaluation or
- Visit an urgent care center or
- Contact a regional hotline or
- Visit a drive-through screening site
If you have a cough WITHOUT difficulty breathing AND no chronic medical conditions*
- Drink fluids
- Take over the counter remedies for fever and mild discomfort (e.g., Tylenol)
- Stay at home and try and stay at least six feet away from others without symptoms
