Anyone can get COVID-19, regardless of age or health condition. It is highly contagious and can spread quickly in any community. However, the risk of severe illness or death increases significantly for individuals with certain medical conditions and those aged 65 and older.

Symptoms can include cough, fever, chills, congestion, aches, and nausea. You might also experience a loss of taste or smell. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and some people may be asymptomatic. Symptoms typically appear 2-14 days after exposure. If you think you’ve been exposed to the virus, contact us about getting tested for COVID-19.

If you are sick with COVID-19, stay home except to get medical care. Isolate yourself from others, monitor your health, and seek immediate medical attention if you have trouble breathing or experience chest pain.

New variants of the virus, such as Delta and Omicron, have emerged and spread more rapidly than the original strain. These variants can cause more severe illness and may partially evade immunity from previous infections or vaccinations. Stay updated on the latest information about variants to protect yourself and your community.

The COVID-19 vaccines have been updated to provide better protection against new variants. Booster shots are now available and recommended for additional immunity. Stay informed about vaccine availability and eligibility for booster doses to ensure you remain protected.

Stay home except to get medical attention. Isolate yourself from family and friends. Monitor your health. Seek immediate medical attention if you can’t breathe and/or have chest pain.
