In a time of such uncertainty, it is vital that you remain aware of the safety precautions required to ensure the health and safety of yourself and others during COVID-19!
Q: How does COVID-19 spread? A: COVID-19 is spread through respiratory droplets (breathing, talking, sneezing, coughing, singing). Q: How will I know if I have COVID-19? A: The most common symptoms are cough, shortness of breath, and fever. Symptoms can appear as soon as 2 days after exposure, but can take up to 2 weeks to show up. Q: How can I prevent contracting COVID-19? A: Wear a mask in public (avoid using a bandana as a face covering), continue to socially distance (minimum of 6 feet), and wash your hands regularly. Q: Who is at risk? A: People of all ages are at risk. However, those who are elderly or have underlying health conditions are the most at risk. Additionally, people in marginalized groups are increasingly at risk. According to the CDC: “Long-standing systemic health and social inequities have put many people from racial and ethnic minority groups at increased risk of getting sick and dying from COVID-19...social determinants of health have historically prevented them from having fair opportunities for economic, physical, and emotional health” (CDC.GOV).
