Wondering if that cough is COVID? Or just a cold? Have you been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19? Are you symptomatic or asymptomatic and worried about the safety of your family?

With many Americans being diagnosed with coronavirus (COVID-19) every day, it’s essential to know the warning signs so that you know when to seek testing.

What is COVID-19?

COVID-19 is an infectious illness caused by a coronavirus. Coronaviruses are a large collection of viruses that may cause a range of respiratory illnesses, including the common cold and other more severe illnesses. COVID-19 spreads through the droplets of saliva or nasal discharge that you expel when you cough or sneeze. Touching a surface a sick person might have touched after sneezing or coughing into their hands.

What are the warning signs of COVID-19?

Like other viral upper respiratory infections, COVID-19 causes:

• Fever
• Shortness of breath
• Tiredness
• Dry cough
• Nasal congestion
• Runny nose
• Sore throat

COVID-19 symptoms usually develop rapidly. It’s also possible to have the virus but not have symptoms.

Around 80% of people who get a coronavirus infection recover without any special treatment, and only one in six people with COVID-19 become very ill and experience difficulty breathing.

Individuals with a high risk, such as those over the age of 65 or with an existing respiratory condition, should be especially mindful of the risk and practice social distancing and exemplary hygiene.

When should I get tested for COVID-19?

If you or a member of your family develop a fever, shortness of breath, and other flu symptoms, like a dry cough, troubled breathing, and bodily aches and pains, just walk into any one of our locations.

Chai Care provides safe COVID-19 testing to reduce the risk of infection.

How can I avoid the spread of COVID-19?

First and foremost, frequently wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds. Soap and water, as well as alcohol-based hand sanitizers, can kill any virus or other germs that are on your hands.

You should also avoid touching your face. When you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth, any virus present on your hands can enter your body and lead to sickness. If you are near someone that is coughing or sneezing, maintain a distance of at least six feet.

Chai Care is dedicated to reducing the spread of Covid-19. Please visit our clinic if you have symptoms, and our staff will get you tested.

If you have a fever and other flu symptoms and want to know whether you need a Covid test, just walk into any of our locations.
