An outbreak of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was detected in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in late December 2019.  Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases. People with Coronavirus disease are most likely to have a fever, and may have respiratory symptoms like a sore throat, runny nose, cough or shortness of breath.  Not all people with the disease will have a fever.

 

If you develop mild symptoms: 

• Isolate yourself from other people and put on a mask if you have one;
• Attend a COVID testing site and get tested immediately; 
• After being tested, isolate until you receive your results; and
• Call a doctor or hospital and tell them your recent history/travel history/symptoms etc if concerned.
