The new strain of coronavirus (COVID-19), discovered in December 2019, is a strain of viruses that can be categorized as a respiratory disease. It is transmitted from person to person through droplets from coughing, sneezing, or talking.
COVID-19 affects people in different ways. People with the virus have had a wide range of symptoms reported including a fever, cough (typically dry), and shortness of breath. It is important to note the differences between the COVID-19 virus and other more common respiratory conditions that present with coughing, fever, etc. such as the flu, allergies (seasonal) or asthma.
The symptoms sometimes do not immediately show after exposure to the virus. An asymptomatic timer period of 2-14 days can occur during which a person can be infected with the virus and not show any symptoms.
If you are positive, our team will provide you with instructions on how to proceed in receiving the necessary medical care, and recommendations for self-quarantine. A positive coronavirus patient with mild symptoms will be instructed to stay home to self quarantine, and if the symptoms are more severe, additional care may be recommended. Either way, we will be with you each step of the way providing that peace of mind you need during these uncertain times.
