What Is Happening? Since its appearance in Wuhan, China in December 2019, the novel coronavirus COVID-19 has spread globally, affecting over hundreds of thousands people so far and has now been classified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization.

COVID-19 can cause serious respiratory illness. Because it is a new virus with no treatment or immunity in people, it is critical for people with any symptoms (cough, fever, shortness of breath, runny nose or sore throat) to stay home and self-isolate to keep it from spreading.

In Alberta, “Given global spread, it is likely that new cases will continue to be detected in our province. While most people who catch this virus have a mild illness, it can be severe or even deadly for our elderly, and those with other medical conditions.” – Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Chief Medical Officer of Health

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Remember, the fewer people who catch the disease, the better hospitals can help those at risk.
