NOTE: Do not assume that you and those around you are well. Some of those with COVID-19 do not have a fever (common symptom). Others with COVID-19 can be asymptomatic, i.e., infected without symptoms and/or pre-symptomatic, i.e., able to spread infection without realizing they're sick. In severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure, heart complications, central nervous system complications and even death.
