COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is reported to be spread through the air, from touching contaminated surfaces and from person-to-person contact. There is no known treatment, cure, or vaccine for COVID-19, which can cause severe illness and death. Federal, state and/or local governments have recommended and/or require precautions, including, but not limited to, social distancing and wearing face coverings, to lessen the spread of this virus. Please contact the Centers for Disease Control (the CDC), your state and/or local governments for the most up-to-date information and guidance.
