Providing you the most up to date and accurate information about COVID-19.
COVID-19 and Phoenix
According to Maricopa County 137,228 people have tested positive and 3,151 have died from COVID (Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) 2020). Face coverings and other mitigation efforts have had a huge impact on the transmission rate. The number of cases per day is starting to level off (Dundas Data Visualization, 2020).
COVID-19 and You
The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. These simple actions will lessen your chances of catching COVID-19 and spreading it to others:
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Stay home as much as possible, but especially when you are sick.
Put distance between yourself and other people, at least 6 feet.
Avoid gathering in groups of 10 or more.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
Wear a cloth face covering when in public places. People can spread COVID-19 before they show symptoms, or even if they show no symptoms at all. Continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others.
​
Illness from COVID-19 increases with age and even moreso for those who are immune-suppressed or have underlying health conditions such as:
Chronic kidney disease
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
Obesity (BMI of 30 or higher)
Serious heart conditions, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, or cardiomyopathies
Sickle cell disease
Type 2 diabetes
