COVID-19 SYMPTOMS
Include fever, cough, and shortness of breath- and may appear as few as two days or as long as 14 days
after exposure. Person-to-person spread mainly occurs from contact with an infected peerson coughing or sneezing (similar to
flu). In rare cases, it may be possible that COVID-19 can be transmitted by touching an infected surface or object.
SYMPTOMS & HOW TO REDUCE THE SPREAD OF ILLNESS
Here's what you can do:
TAKE PRECAUTIONS:
If you are sick, stay home. Wash your hands often with soap & water for at least 20 seconds.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose & mouth with unwashed hands. Cover your cough or sneeze.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. Get a flu shot to prevent the flu, which has similar symptoms to COVID-19. If you have recently traveled in an area with
COVID-19 infections & are
showing symptoms, monitor your health and seek guidance from a medical professional (call first).
PLAN AHEAD:
Living in earthquake country, we know the impotance of personal preparedness on
anygiven day. Have extra food, water, medical supplies, & emergency kits in your homes & offices.
Talk to your family, friends, and neighbors to develop emergency plans.
STAY INFORMED:
Stick with official sources for accurate and up-to-date information, including
CDC.gov, PublicHealth.LACounty.gov, and LAMayor.org/Coronavirus. Sign up for NotifyLA, our city's
