Basic information about coronavirus
What is coronavirus?
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). They can infect humans and animals and can be transmitted between animals and people. Several coronaviruses can cause respiratory infections.
What is COVID-19?
An infectious disease caused by a recently discovered coronavirus. In most people, it causes mild illness. However, a fraction of cases are severe.
How does COVID-19 spread?
COVID-19 spreads through small water droplets from the nose or mouth of people who have the virus.
How can you protect yourself and loved ones?
The CDC recommends the following:
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
- Stay home if you are sick
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
- Wash your hands with soap and water frequently and for at least 20 seconds
What should you do if you get sick?
- Stay home. Going out may infect others. Avoid other household members, too.
- If you need treatment, call ahead. Allow your doctor to prepare for your visit.
- Wear a face mask and practice good hygiene. Face masks won’t help if you’re healthy, but they can stop you from infecting others. Wash your hands often and disinfect surfaces.
And of course consult your health care team for other tips on preventing the spread of COVID-19.
