About Covid-19
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus.
The disease causes respiratory illness (like the flu) with symptoms such as a cough, fever, and in more severe cases, difficulty breathing. You can protect yourself by washing your hands frequently, avoiding touching your face, and avoiding close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with people who are unwell.
Here is an infographic that provides information on how to Distinguish Covid-19 vs. Allergies vs. the Flu.
The Central Racine County Health Department webpage and the Walworth County Covid-19 webpage share up-to-date local information.
