What is COVID-19?
<\/h3>\n

COVID-19, aka Coronavirus, is a fairly common type of virus that can cause coughs, colds and fevers. Like the flu, there are different strains of coronavirus
\n that can make people sick. Most of the strains are familiar, meaning people have been exposed to them in the past and many people are immune to them.
\n Sometimes, a new strain of the virus emerges that people have not been exposed to before. That\u2019s what is happening with coronavirus this year. Because
\n the strain of the virus is novel, or new, more people are getting sick and we don\u2019t have a good vaccine to prevent it.<\/p>\n

Prevention & Hygiene\u00a0

Doctors and scientists are still learning about the new virus and trying to understand how it spreads from person to person. As they learn more, we will
\n get a better understanding of how to protect ourselves. For now, the CDC recommends<\/a> protecting yourself and the children in your care by taking some basic precautions:<\/p>\n
