About COVID-19

Based on what is currently known about COVID-19, spread from person-to-person with this virus happens most frequently among close contacts (within about 6 feet). This type of transmission occurs via respiratory droplets emitted through sneezing and coughing. Transmission of novel coronavirus to persons from surfaces contaminated with the virus has not been documented. Typical symptoms include a low-grade fever, cold-like symptoms and shortness of breath.
