COVID-19 is a new respiratory virus first identified in Wuhan, China that causes flu-like illness ranging from mild to severe, with symptoms of fever, coughing, fatigue and difficulty breathing. Like the flu, COVID-19 is thought to spread person-to-person by close contact (within 6 feet) and by coughing or sneezing. Other possible routes of transmission may include touching surfaces contaminated by the virus. (MSDH, 2020)
Individuals, communities and organizations are essential to controlling the spread of COVID-19 in Mississippi. Please visit the Mississippi State Department of Health for information on COVID-19 Guidance and Preventative Steps.
