FAQs

Who is most at risk from COVID-19?
People of all ages can be infected. Older people, those with compromised immune systems, and people who have serious, underlying or chronic medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) appear to be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with the virus. 
People of all ages should take steps to protect themselves, however, it is especially important for those who are at higher risk to take preventative hand-washing, respiratory and other recommended actions, to reduce their risk. 

How does COVID-19 spread?
It is primarily spread through respiratory droplets. To become infected, people generally must be within six feet of someone who is contagious and come into contact with these droplets.

It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
