Understanding the symptoms of the coronavirus and how to protect yourself
The coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, was first detected in China and has now been detected in more than 100 locations internationally, including the US. This is a respiratory disease and airborne illness- meaning, this is typically caught from person-to-person contact or any opportunity where germs spread once an infected person spits, coughs or sneezes and another person ingests these germs from the air.

At present, we understand the following symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure:

  • Fever
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath / respiratory issues

Anyone experiencing any of the above should seek medical attention immediately.

There are many preventive measures you can take to protect yourself and others -

  • Avoid crowds
  • Wash your hands & surfaces regularly
  • Avoid contact with your face
  • Schedule meetings or visits wisely
  • If you feel any symptoms at all or are feeling "under the weather," STAY HOME!
