SARS-CoV-2 (also called COVID-19) is a human coronavirus that can cause respiratory symptoms that resemble a common cold or flu. It can lead to serious illness, even death. The virus can affect more than just your respiratory and lungs. It could cause heart and blood vessels problems.
In addition, people who have certain medical conditions have a higher risk of getting more severe and longer-lasting illness. This includes those with heart disease, diabetes or weak immune systems people who are elderly; and infants.
If respiratory symptoms last more than 24 hours or become more severe after 24 hours, the CDC suggests that people remain at home. This can help prevent them from spreading the virus to others. Avoiding close contact with sick people is important.
