Symptoms and Prevention
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus is thought to spread mainly between people who are in close contact with one another (within 6 feet) and through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Some recent studies have suggested that COVID-19 may be spread by people who are not showing symptoms. It may also be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it, and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
Cape Cod Healthcare is carefully monitoring the status of COVID-19 in conjunction with public health partners at all levels and will continue to provide updated information as it becomes available.
What are the symptoms of the COVID-19 infection?
According to the CDC, people with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported - ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness.
Symptoms may appear 2 to 14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:
- Fever or chills
- Cough
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Muscle or body aches
- Headache
- New loss of taste or smell
- Sore throat
- Congestion or runny nose
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
What should I do if I have COVID-19 symptoms?
To prevent further spread of infection, do not go directly to your doctor’s office, urgent care or emergency centers - contact your primary care physician by phone first. Based on your symptoms, your doctor will ask a series of questions to confirm if you need to be tested. If you do not have a primary care physician, call our dedicated call center at 508-534-7103 to be screened over the phone with a CCHC clinical provider. If it is determined you should be tested, your provider will submit an electronic order to our testing team and you will receive an appointment for drive-through testing.
