What are the symptoms?

People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms, ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:

Fever or chills

Cough

Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

Fatigue

Muscle or body aches

Headache

New loss of taste or smell

Sore throat

Congestion or runny nose

Nausea or vomiting

Diarrhea

How does COVID-19 spread and what can I do to protect myself and others?

COVID-19 is thought to spread mainly through close contact from person to person, including between people who are physically near each other (within about six feet). People who are infected but do not show symptoms can also spread the virus to others. We are still learning about how the virus spreads and the severity of illness it causes.

Public health officials recommend the following steps to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses, including influenza and COVID-19:

Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

Stay home when you are sick.

Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue.

Follow masking policies and social distancing guidelines.

Wash your hands often with soap and water.

Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

Frequently asked questions

Who is at risk for COVID-19?

People of any age, even healthy young adults and children, can get COVID-19. Currently, those at greatest risk of infection are persons who have had prolonged, unprotected close contact with a symptomatic, confirmed COVID-19 patient.

When should I seek emergency medical care?

CDC

Seek emergency medical care for COVID-19 if you are showing any of these symptoms:

Trouble breathing
Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
New confusion
Inability to wake or stay awake
Pale, gray, or blue-colored skin, lips, or nail beds, depending on skin tone

Always call 911 if you think you are experiencing an emergency.

Are the symptoms of COVID-19 different in children than in adults?

No, the symptoms of COVID-19 are similar in children and adults. However, children with confirmed COVID-19 have generally presented with mild symptoms similar to a cold, including fever, runny nose and cough. Vomiting and diarrhea have also been reported. Based on available evidence, children do not appear to be at any higher risk or more susceptible to COVID-19 than adults. While some children and infants have been sick with COVID-19, infections in children are less common and adults make up most of the known cases to date.

How can I get tested for COVID-19?

Contact your healthcare provider or your local health department for testing availability and criteria. If you have symptoms of COVID-19, or if you have not been vaccinated and have been in close contact with someone with COVID-19, it is still important to stay home even if you are not tested.

Are your facilities a safe care environment for patients?

Our facilities are among the safest possible places to seek care at this time, and we have implemented several protective measures to create a safe environment for our patients, visitors and staff. We have strong protocols in place and are following all guidelines set forth by the CDC to ensure a safe care environment. Please review our current enhanced safety precautions.

What should I know about COVID-19 vaccination?

Authorized COVID-19 vaccines can help protect you from COVID-19. Please read our COVID-19 vaccine FAQs to learn more.
