COVID-19
Fact #4:
COVID-19 is NOT the flu.

The differences?
The risk of dying from COVID-19 is much higher than that of the flu:
-
COVID-19: approximately 15,000/week "counted deaths" during mid-April.
-
Flu: approx. 750/week "counted deaths" during typical influenza "peak week."
We don't know much about COVID-19 including patterns, symptoms, and even long term health effects on many who survive...
Doing Your Part to Limit the Spread of COVID-19?
Help keep LA County on the Road to Recovery by doing your part to limit the spread of COVID-19. It only takes one person to spread COVID-19 to everyone you live with.
Avoid gathering with others you don't live with, to protect everyone you DO live with. And remember:
-
Wear your face covering.
-
Stay at least 6 ft apart from anyone outside of your household.
-
Wash your hands frequently.
