Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-Co-V-2 virus. The virus is an acute respiratory syndrome with a new strain being discovered in 2019. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. The virus causes symptoms that vary from very mild to severe. It can also cause people to have no symptoms but can still spread it through asymptomatic transmission.

​

People with pre-existing medical conditions and are older have a higher risk of serious illness from COVID-19. Some people experience COVID-19 symptoms for more than four weeks after they are diagnosed. These health issues are sometimes called post-COVID-19 conditions. Some children and adults also experience multisystem inflammatory syndrome that can affect organs and tissues for weeks after testing positive for the virus.
