Reporting
The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air, and quickly fall on floors or surfaces.
​
You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within close proximity of someone who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth.
The Coronavirus Self-Checker can help you decide when to get medical care. If you develop emergency warning signs for COVID-19, get medical attention immediately. Please consult your medical provider or local health department for any symptoms that are severe or concerning.
