Shortness of breath

The symptoms may appear in as few as two days or as long as 14 days after exposure. Reported illnesses have ranged from people with little to no symptoms to people being severely ill and dying.

Through the air by coughing or sneezing;

Close personal contact, such as touching or shaking hands;

How can I help protect myself?



Cover coughs or sneezes with your elbow. Do not use your hands!

Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.

Clean surfaces frequently, including countertops, light switches, cell phones, remotes, and other frequently touched items.
