What is COVID-19?

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Many people who contract COVID-19 experience mild symptoms. Some will become seriously ill and require medical attention.
COVID-19 is primarily spread person-to-person when infected particles are exhaled into the air and breathed in by another.
COVID-19 is diagnosed with a test. There are two types of tests: One given by a health provider (PCR test) and an at-home test kit (Rapid antigen test).
The best way to protect yourself is to get vaccinated and boosted when you are eligible, wear a mask in public spaces, wash your hands often, and practice physical distancing.
