What about C OVID-19

What is COVID-19?

COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is a disease caused by a virus named SARS-CoV-2. It can be very contagious and spreads quickly. Over one million people have died from COVID-19 in the United States. CDC reported over 94 million cases in the United States since 2019.

COVID-19 most often causes respiratory symptoms that can feel much like a cold, the flu, or pneumonia. COVID-19 may attack more than your lungs and respiratory system. Other parts of your body may also be affected by the disease. Most people with COVID-19 have mild symptoms, but some people become severely ill.

Some people, including those with minor or no symptoms, will develop Post-COVID Conditions – also called “Long COVID.” After 5 years we are still feeling the effects of this disease.

What are ways to prevent COVID-19?

There are many actions you can take to help protect yourself, your household, and your community from COVID-19. CDC’s Respiratory Virus Guidance provides actions you can take to help protect yourself and others from health risks caused by respiratory viruses, including COVID-19. These actions include steps to lower the risk of COVID-19 transmission (catching and spreading COVID-19) and lower the risk of severe illness if you get sick.

CDC recommends that you

Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, when and where available
Practice good hygiene (practices that improve cleanliness) and prevent other transferable viruses.
Take steps for cleaner air.
Stay home when sick
Seek health care promptly for testing and treatment when you are sick if you have risk factors for severe illness. Treatment may help lower your risk of severe illness.

What are variants of COVID-19?

Viruses are constantly changing, including the virus that causes COVID-19. These changes occur over time and can lead to new strains of the virus or variants of COVID-19. Slowing the spread of the virus, by protecting yourself and others, can help slow new variants from developing. CDC is working with state and local public health officials to monitor the spread of all variants, including Omicron.
