What can people do to protect themselves?

The COVID-19 vaccination is encouraged for everyone age 6 months and older, including boosters. Staying up to date on these and other vaccines can prevent disease and help reduce severity.
Handwashing is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of most common infections, including COVID-19.
Wearing a mask and distancing yourself from others when you feel ill can help lower the risk of transmission of respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19.

What should I do if I'm feeling sick?

If you are experiencing symptoms of respiratory illness, including COVID-19, you should stay home and away from others until you have been fever-free and feeling better for at least 24 hours without medication.

Once both of these are true, you can resume normal activities with added precautions for the next 5 days. These include masks, physical distancing, and steps for increased ventilation when around other people.

Is there a treatment?

Yes, the FDA has approved several medications to treat COVID-19. These treatments must be prescribed by a health care provider and begin within 5-7 days of symptom onset.
