COVID-19

COVID-19 is a respiratory virus that is spread through coughing, sneezing or talking. Most people that are 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 adults and those with underlying medical conditions are more likely to develop serious illness.
