Corona Virus Disease

Coronavirus disease (COVID- 19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS- CoV- 2 virus. Most people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. COVID- 19 most often causes respiratory symptoms that can feel much like a cold, the flu, or pneumonia. COVID- 19 may attack more than your lungs and respiratory system. Other parts of your body may also be affected by the disease. Most people with COVID- 19 have mild symptoms, but some people become severely ill.
