COVID-19 Resources

Overview

COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has become a global pandemic affecting millions of people. It primarily spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, talks, or breathes heavily. Although symptoms can vary, the disease can lead to severe complications, especially in older adults and people with underlying health conditions.

Symptoms

  • Fever or chills
  • Cough and sore throat
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Fatigue and body aches
  • Headache
  • Loss of taste or smell
  • Congestion or runny nose
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea

Prevention

To minimize the risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19:

  • Get fully vaccinated, including any recommended booster shots.
  • Wear masks, especially in indoor settings or crowded places.
  • Practice social distancing by staying at least 6 feet apart from others.
  • Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer.
  • Avoid large gatherings or poorly ventilated spaces.

Treatment

Most people with mild to moderate COVID-19 recover at home with supportive care, such as:

  • Rest and staying hydrated.
  • Using over-the-counter medications for fever, cough, or discomfort.
  • Isolation from others to prevent the spread of the virus.

Severe cases may require hospitalization, oxygen therapy, or medications like antiviral treatments or monoclonal antibodies. Individuals with underlying health conditions should seek medical attention promptly if symptoms worsen.
