COVID-19: Club Response Plan

Background

Coronaviruses are a large and diverse family of viruses which cause illnesses such as the common cold. In January 2020, officials identified a new coronavirus called novel coronavirus or COVID-19.

Symptoms of COVID-19 are similar to a range of other illnesses such as influenza and do not necessarily mean that you have COVID-19. Symptoms include fever, coughing and difficulty breathing. Difficulty breathing is a sign of possible pneumonia and requires immediate medical attention.

The authority for information on COVID-19 is the Ministry of Health. There are resources and information on their website.
