Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that can cause illnesses ranging from mild diseases, such as a cold, to more serious illnesses, such as pneumonia. Recently, a new coronavirus was detected that had not been previously seen in humans. The disease, called COVID-19, can be spread from person to person.
There is now widespread community transmission of COVID-19 in Miami-Dade County, meaning the sources of new infections are unknown. Everyone in our county should act as if they have been exposed to COVID-19. That means monitoring your health closely and staying home from work if you are sick. Residents who are not sick should also stay home as much as possible and avoid all unnecessary social interactions.
