Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from
person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus that was first
identified during an investigation into an outbreak in Wuhan, China.
COVID-19 is spreading from person to person in parts of the world. Risk of infection
from the virus that causes COVID-19 is higher for people who are close contacts of someone
known to have COVID-19, for example healthcare workers, or household members. Other
people at higher risk for infection are those who live in or have recently been in an area with
on going spread of COVID-19.
The virus that causes COVID-19 probably emerged from an animal source, but is now
spreading from person to person. The virus is thought to spread mainly between people who
are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) through respiratory droplets
produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It also may be possible that a person
can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching
their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the
virus spreads.
Patients with COVID-19 have had mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of
fever. Cough, shortness of breath. Some patients have pneumonia in both lungs, multi-organ
failure and in some cases death
