What Is COVID-19?

COVID-19 is a new or novel, coronavirus and is highly contagious. COVID-19 is transmitted person-to-person, with illnesses ranging from mild to severe. Person-to-person spread means being in close contact with an infected person or through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. 

Older people, especially those with a history of underlying health conditions such as heart disease or diabetes, seem to be at the greatest risk of complications if exposed to the coronavirus.

It is important to stay up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines and booster vaccines to reduce your risk of severe illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19.
