COVID-19 (Sars-CoV-2) is an illness caused by a virus that can spread from person-to-person, also known as a communicable disease.
The virus that causes COVID-19 most commonly spreads between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). It spreads through respiratory droplets or small particles, such as those in aerosols, produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, sings, talks, or breathes. These particles can be inhaled into the nose, mouth, airways, and lungs and cause infection. This is thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
COVID-19 can be spread by people who are not showing symptoms.
Please visit our "COVID-19 Vaccine" Webpage for more information about COVID-19 vaccination and vaccine availability.
Anyone with any signs or symptoms of COVID-19 should get tested, regardless of vaccination status or prior infection. If you get tested because you have symptoms or were potentially exposed to the virus, you should stay away from others while you wait for your test results. Follow the advice of your health care provider or a public health professional.
Symptomatic individuals (those who have one or more symptom of COVID-19) should be under the care of a medical professional.
Individuals should contact their primary care provider to seek testing.
Individuals who do not have a primary care provider should contact a local Urgi-Care center or hospital.
