What is COVID-19?
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 was identified in December 2019 and declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020.
Type and severity of symptoms of an active COVID-19 infection vary greatly between individuals depending on the age, gender, and underlying medical conditions. The most commonly reported ones include fever, loss of smell, coughing, sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, feeling weak or lethargic, chills, muscle pain, light-headedness or dizziness, headache, vomiting or diarrhea, slurred speech, and/or seizures. Less common symptoms include stuffy nose, conjunctivitis (pink eye), dizziness, confusion, abdominal pain, and skin rashes or discoloration of fingers or toes.

How Corona-virus Spreads
Human coronaviruses cause infections of the nose, throat and lungs. They are most commonly spread from an infected person through:
- Respiratory droplets generated when you cough or sneeze.
- Close, prolonged personal contact, such as touching or shaking hands.
- Touching something with the virus on it, then touching mouth, nose or eyes before washing hands.
How to prevent from Corona-virus
As we continue to see transmission of the virus within different communities, we know that everyone must take precautions. In an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within communities and across the country, all Canadians are advised to:
- Stay at home unless you have to go to work, talk to your employer about working at home if possible.
- Avoid all non-essential trips in your community.
- Limit contact with people at higher risk, such as older adults and those in poor health.
- Avoiding common greetings, such as handshakes.
- Avoiding crowded places and non-essential gatherings.
- Wear face mask when going outside from home.
Hygiene for Covid-19
Proper hygiene can help reduce the risk of infection or spreading infection to others:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the washroom and when preparing food.
- Use Alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
- Cough or sneeze into a tissue or the bend of your arm, not your hand.
- Dispose of any tissues you have used as soon as possible in a lined waste basket and wash your hands afterwards.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
