Understanding COVID-19

COVID-19, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, is a highly contagious respiratory illness that has affected communities worldwide. It can range from mild symptoms to severe respiratory distress and can lead to complications, especially in vulnerable populations. Staying informed and taking precautions is essential in managing the spread of the virus.

Common Symptoms of COVID-19

COVID-19 can manifest with various symptoms, which may include:

• Fever or Chills
• Cough
• Shortness of Breath
• Fatigue
• Muscle or Body Aches
• Headache
• Loss of Taste or Smell
• Sore Throat
• Congestion or Runny Nose

It’s important to note that some individuals infected with the virus may remain asymptomatic (showing no symptoms) while still being able to spread the virus to others.

Prevention and Safety Measures

Preventing the spread of COVID-19 involves taking proactive measures, such as:

• Vaccination: Getting vaccinated is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself and others from severe illness.

• Social Distancing: Maintaining physical distance from others, especially in large gatherings.
