COVID-19 FAQS
What is the coronavirus and COVID-19?
Coronaviruses were first identified in the 1950s and generally cause mild upper respiratory illness characterized by cough, fever, and/or body aches. This is very similar to most viral illnesses including flu and the common cold. The current situation involves a new, or “novel,” coronavirus and the illness it causes is called COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). Because this virus is new, testing has been limited; there are no vaccines and no medicines designed specifically to treat it.
Am I at risk for coronavirus?
As the outbreak expands, the risk of exposure will increase. Older adults and people who have serious chronic medical conditions are at higher risk of serious illness. Everyone can do their part to help us respond to this emerging public health threat:
- Stay home when you are sick
- Call your health care provider’s office in advance of a visit
- Limit movement in the community
- Limit visitors
What are the symptoms caused by coronavirus?
Fever, symptoms of lower respiratory illness (e.g., cough, shortness of breath) and body aches are the most common symptoms. Because it is still cold and flu season, you may be more symptomatic to aches and pains. Right now, if you’re feeling ill, it is still much more likely to be a cold or the flu rather than the coronavirus. As with the flu, most people who get coronavirus only experience mild viral symptoms such as fever, cough, muscle pain or weakness, and fatigue, and will experience a complete recovery.
Can the Coronavirus be treated?
Since it is a virus, the coronavirus cannot be treated with antibiotics. Mild infections are treated in the same way as the common cold or flu with medications to relieve the symptoms of cough, congestion, and fever
If you have a fever, cough, loss of taste and smell, or other symptoms of a respiratory infection, please visit your closest Emergency Care. As a precaution, wear a mask and gloves, and limit your exposure to others, maintaining at least 6 feet of distance. We ask that you please kindly do not make an appointment with DASHA if you or a close contact of yours is currently sick with COVID-19, if you have a test pending for COVID-19, or if you have any symptoms of COVID-19 (fever associated with cough and/or shortness of breath or a loss of smell/taste). If any of these apply, please wait 3 weeks from the resolution of symptoms and be symptom-free prior to making an appointment.
