COVID-19 can cause symptoms ranging from mild to very severe. For people who are older or those at high risk of getting very sick from COVID-19, treatment may be available that can reduce the chances of being hospitalized or dying from the disease. Contact a healthcare provider right away or visit a Test to Treat location. Treatment must be started within the first few days to be effective.
