CDC Frequently Asked Questions

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. Patients with COVID-19 can experience mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath. Complications from the illness can develop into pneumonia in both lungs. Everyone 16 years of age and older is now eligible to get a COVID-19 vaccination. Get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as you can. Widespread vaccination is a critical tool to help stop the pandemic.

The best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to the virus. There are simple everyday preventive actions you can take.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
• If you are sick, to keep from spreading respiratory illness to others, you should:
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

We will give you instructions on how to get care without exposing other people to your illness.
