COVID-19 Resources

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)is an infectious disease, causing respiratory illness and flu-like symptoms, such as cough, fever, sore throat, and in severe cases, breathing difficulty. The virus has proven to be highly contagious with illness being spread by carriers who are often asymptomatic. Because of its relatively recent discovery, there are no known vaccines or medications to directly attack the virus. Healthcare professionals are simultaneously tasked with finding methods of effective testing, treating dramatic symptoms, and protecting themselves from contagion. Currently, worldwide diagnosed cases are approaching 2 million victims, with over 100 thousand dead.
