FAQ
What is the 2019 novel coronavirus? +

What are the symptoms of coronavirus? +
For confirmed COVID-19 infections, reported illnesses have ranged from people with little to no symptoms or mild cold symptoms to people being severely sick, some recovering and others dying.

How does it spread? +
The virus that causes COVID-19 is spreading from person to person. Someone who is actively sick with COVID-19 can spread the illness to others. The principle mode of transmission is still thought to occur mainly via respiratory droplets that travel up to six feet in the air after an infected person coughs or sneezes. This transmission is similar to how the flu and other respiratory pathogens spread.
Close contact with an infectious person, such as shaking hands, or touching a doorknob, tabletop or other surfaces touched by an infectious person, and then touching your nose, eyes, or mouth can also transmit the virus.
What do I do if I feel sick? +
In the event that you have symptoms such as fever, cough or difficulty breathing AND a history of travel from an area where there is an ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 or contact with a person with coronavirus, please take the following steps because to prevent spread of the disease:
-seek medical attention immediately as directed as a public health authority, or consult with a Rejuvenan physician.
-separate the individual from others while arrangements are being made for transport to appropriate medical care.
Traveling:
For international travel to/from countries with significant COVID-19 transmission (designated as Level 2 or 3 by the CDC):
Avoid non-essential travel to China, as you will be required to self-quarantine for 14 days upon your return, and you may face restrictions in your ability to return to the U.S.
Avoid non-essential travel to other Level 2 and 3 countries, as the current recommendation is that you self-monitor for 14 days upon your return.
