Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe
diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV).
-- Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a new strain that was discovered in 2019 and has not been previously identified in
humans.
-- Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties.
In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.

Who is at risk?
Colorado Department of Health & Environment

Certain people are at higher risk of getting very sick [every time - not just this time]:
-- Older people (over age 60), especially those over 80 years.
-- People who have chronic medical conditions like heart, lung, or kidney disease, or diabetes.
-- Older people with chronic medical conditions are at greatest risk.

If you have symptoms, stay where you are, isolate yourself from others, and call a health care provider or nurse line
before seeking care. Do not fly. Do not use public transportation or ride-shares.
