What is COVID-19?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), COVID-19 is a new type of coronavirus first identified in Wuhan, China in late 2019 and causes illnesses among humans.\u00a0 COVID-19, abbreviated ‘CO<\/strong>‘ for ‘corona, ‘VI<\/strong>‘ for virus, ‘D<\/strong>‘ for ‘disease’, and ‘19<\/strong>‘ for 2019, may also be referred to as ‘SARS-CoV-19.<\/p>\n

How can COVID-19 spread?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly thought to spread through human to human transmission, such as when an infected person coughs or sneezes.\u00a0 Spreading the virus is more likely when people are in close contact with others (within 6 feet or 2 meters).\u00a0 It can also be spread by touching an infected surface (like a doorknob, desk, or sink) then touching one’s face with unwashed hands.<\/p>\n
