COVID-19 INFORMATIONWhat are the symptoms?
The most common early symptoms appear between 2 and 14 days after infection. Symptoms can be mild to severe and resemble symptoms of the flu. They include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. How does the virus spread? Like many other viruses, COVID-19 seems to spread from person to person close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). What are preventive actions I can take? There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory disease.
