COVID-19
COVID-19 is the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which has affected millions of people since its emergence in late 2019. Thought to spread via respiratory droplets, those at higher risk for serious medical complications due to COVID-19 are older adults and those with underlying medical conditions, such as heart disease, lung disease, or diabetes. Symptoms for the disease include fever, shortness of breath, chills, muscle pain, headache, loss of taste/smell, and sore throat.
