Coronavirus Disease Outbreak Situation
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the
SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Most people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and
recover without requiring special treatment. However, some will become seriously ill and
require medical attention. Older people and those with underlying medical conditions like
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, or cancer are more likely to
develop serious illness. Anyone can get sick with COVID-19 and become seriously ill or die
at any age.
