​Covid-19 Symptoms

According to the CDC, the symptoms of COVID-19 may appear in as few as 2 days or as long as 14 days after exposure. Reported illnesses from several confirmed cases ranged from mild symptoms such as fever and cough to more severe symptoms including weakness, breathing difficulty, pneumonia, and severe acute respiratory syndrome.

​

Symptoms may be similar to common cold and flu so if you have any symptoms of respiratory illness, contact your primary physician for guidance.
