The Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory virus that is contagious and can spread from person to person, like the flu and other respiratory viruses. If you traveled to a high-risk area or have been in close contact with an infected person, you may be at risk of getting the COVID-19 virus. The infection is most dangerous for many of the same people who are at risk for serious illness from the flu: older adults and those with chronic diseases such as heart disease, lung disease, cancer, and diabetes.
