COVID-19 q & A
What is the coronavirus?

Who is especially affected by the COVID-19 virus?
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person, who is in close contact with one another (about six feet) through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
It's also thought possible that COVID-19 can be contracted by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes – however, this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. Healthcare workers and household members are at the highest risk of infection.
