COVID-19 is a dangerous disease. It is very contagious and has quickly spread around the world. COVID most often causes respiratory symptoms that can feel like cold, flu, or pneumonia, but it can also harm other parts of the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can help prevent COVID-19?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  • Wear a mask.<\/li>
  • Stay 6 feet away from others.<\/li>
  • Wash your hands often.<\/li>
  • Cover coughs and sneezes.<\/li>
  • Clean and disinfect.<\/li>
  • Get vaccinated. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    COVID-19 vaccines are effective at protecting you from getting sick. Based on what we know about COVID vaccines, people who have been fully vaccinated can start to do some things that they had stopped doing because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
