COVID-19
COVID-19 is a contagious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

The first known case was identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and quickly spread worldwide, resulting in the COVID-19 pandemic.

COVID-19 most often causes respiratory symptoms that can feel much like a cold, the flu or pneumonia.

COVID-19 may attack more than your lungs and respiratory system.

Other parts of your body may also be affected by the disease.

Most people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment.

However, some will become seriously ill and require medical attention.

Older people and those with underlying medical conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease or cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.

Anyone can get sick with COVID-19 and become seriously ill or die at any age.

COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets when an infected person talks, coughs or sneezes.

It can also be spread by touching a surface or object contaminated with the virus and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.

There are many actions you can take to help protect yourself, your household, and your community from COVID-19.

These include getting vaccinated, staying at least 1 meter apart from others, wearing a properly fitted mask when physical distancing is not possible or when in poorly ventilated settings, and choosing open, well-ventilated spaces over closed ones.
