Currently, there is no vaccine to protect against the coronavirus and no medications to treat it.

SYMPTOMS

Shortness of breath
For those with a weakened immune system, the elderly and the very young, there's a chance the virus could cause a lower, and much more serious, respiratory tract illness like a pneumonia or bronchitis.
Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure
