COVID-19 Disease Information

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that originated in China and can be transmitted from person to person. The virus is caused by a novel coronavirus, which is a common type of virus that affects mammals, birds and reptiles. Several coronaviruses can infect people, according to the CDC. These strains mostly cause cold-like symptoms but can sometimes progress to more complicated lower respiratory tract illnesses, such as pneumonia or bronchitis. This new version of the virus has spread throughout the world and has reached the United States. The first US case was reported on January 21, 2020. The current count of cases is available on the CDC’s website.

Those who are most at risk from COVID-19 include: Older Adults: The risk increases significantly with age, particularly for individuals aged 65 and older. Individuals with Underlying Medical Conditions: People of any age with chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, chronic lung diseases (like COPD or moderate-to-severe asthma), obesity, or kidney disease.

How is COVID-19 Treated?
There is only one FDA-approved antiviral drug – Remdesivir – to treat adults and children over the age of 12. There are currently trials underway to test the safety and efficacy of other antiviral drugs as well as corticosteroid dexamethasone for the treatment of COVID-19.
What are the Symptoms of COVID-19?
Patients that have been diagnosed with COVID-19 have been found to exhibit many of the same symptoms of other respiratory illnesses. These symptoms include mild to severe fever, cough, and shortness of breath which typically begins anywhere from a day or two all the way up to 14 days after initial exposure. Many of the patients that have had severe complications from the virus also have pneumonia in both lungs. If you are experiencing symptoms, the CDC recommends calling or visiting your local healthcare provider for advice to avoid spreading germs to others. If you develop severe warning signs such

How is COVID-19 spread?
The virus that causes COVID-19 is believed to have emerged from an animal source, but is now being spread from person to person. It is thought to be primarily spread through close contact with another person carrying the infection through respiratory droplets produced through sneezing or coughing. It is also likely that people can get the coronavirus by touching surfaces that have the virus on it and then touching their mouths, nose, or eyes. To learn more about the transmission of COVID-19, visit the CDC’s website.
