COVID-19 Testing and Treatment

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It primarily affects the respiratory system, but can also impact other organs and systems. The disease can range from mild symptoms to severe illness and has significant public health implications.

Common Symptoms of COVID-19

Symptoms of COVID-19 can vary widely and may include:

• Fever or chills
• Cough
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Fatigue
• Muscle or body aches
• Headache
• New loss of taste or smell
• Sore throat
• Congestion or runny nose
• Nausea or vomiting

How COVID-19 Spreads

COVID-19 spreads primarily through:

• Respiratory Droplets: Released into the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks.
• Close Contact: Being within six feet of an infected person for a prolonged period.
• Surface Contact: Touching surfaces contaminated with the virus and then touching your face, although this is considered less common.
