The symptoms for the COVID-19 virus are: a cough, fever and shortness of breath.  The highest risk group for complications from the virus are older people, especially with chronic health conditions.  The virus is spread through: coughing and sneezing; close personal contact like touching or shaking hands; and touching an object or surgace wih the virus on it – then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.

 The things you can do to protect from spreading the COVID-19 virus is to:

  • wash your hands frequently
  • cover your sneeze or cough with a tissue
  • avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth;
  • clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
  • if you are sick, STAY HOME
