What are the symptoms of COVID-19?

• According to CDC, patients with confirmed COVID-19 have had mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of:
• fever
• cough
• shortness of breath
• Some patients have had other symptoms including muscle aches, headache, sore throat, or diarrhea.
• These symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure.

 Steps that everyone can take to slow the spread of the virus include:  

• Cover your coughs and sneezes with your elbow or sleeve, or a tissue and then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands afterwards.
• Washing your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom or before eating. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
• Avoid touching your face – especially your eyes, nose and mouth – with unwashed hands.
• Stay home if you have cold- or flu-like symptoms, for seven days after your illness onset or three days after your fever resolves without fever reducing medicine, and avoid close contact with people who are sick.
