Transmission and Symptoms of COVID-19: COVID-19 is mostly spread by respiratory droplets released when people talk, cough, or sneeze. It is thought that the virus may spread to hands from a contaminated surface and then to the nose or mouth, causing infection. Therefore, personal prevention practices (such as handwashing and staying home when sick) and environmental cleaning and disinfection are important principles that are covered in this document. Fortunately, there are a number of actions that child care programs can take to help lower the risk of COVID-19 exposure and spread in child care settings.
Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with COVID-19 have reported a wide range of specific and non-specific symptoms of COVID-19.
People with these symptoms may have COVID-19 (but this list does not include all possible symptoms): • Fever* or chills • New cough • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing • Fatigue • Muscle or body aches • New loss of taste or smell • Sore throat • Congestion or runny nose • Headache • Nausea or vomiting • Diarrhea
People with COVID-19 report a wide range of symptoms from no symptoms and mild to severe illness. Even people with no or mild symptoms can spread the virus.
*Fever is determined by a measured temperature of 100.4 °F or greater, or feels warm to the touch, or says they have recently felt feverish.
*Masks are not required for PreK*
