Questions and answers about coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
What can I do to protect myself and prevent the spread of the disease?
Protective measures for people who are in areas where COVID-19 is spreading or who have visited them recently (in the last 14 days)
Stay home if you start to feel ill, even if it is for mild symptoms such as headache, mild fever (37.3 oC or higher), and mild runny nose, until you recover.
If you need to leave home or receive a visit (for example, to get food), put on a mask to avoid infecting other people.
Why?
Avoiding contact with other people and visits to medical centers will allow medical centers to work more effectively and help protect you and others from possible infections with the COVID-19 virus or others.
If you have a fever, cough, and shortness of breath, seek medical advice quickly, as it could be due to a respiratory infection or other serious condition.
Call ahead and inform your health care provider of any recent trips you have made or any contact you have had with travelers.
Why?
Calling ahead will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health center.
This will also help prevent the spread of viruses and other infections.
How likely is COVID-19 to get?
The risk depends on where you are and, more specifically, whether a COVID-19 outbreak is occurring in that location.
For most people in most places, the risk of getting this disease remains low.
However, we know that there are some places (cities or areas) where it is spreading and where the risk of contracting it is higher, both for the people who live in them and for those who visit them.
Governments and health authorities are acting with determination every time a new case of COVID-19 is detected.
It is important that we all respect the restrictions on travel, travel and the mass concentrations of people applicable to each specific place.
If we cooperate with measures to fight the disease, we will reduce the risk that each of us runs of contracting or spreading it.
As verified in China and in other countries, it is possible to stop COVID-19 outbreaks and end their transmission.
However, the great speed with which new outbreaks can appear forces us to be aware of the situation in the places where we are or where we intend to go.
