more than 2,000 cases of COVID-19 and 50 deaths from 49 states and District of

Columbia. Today, I want to talk to you about what you should do if you have

symptoms. Now, some of this depends on what's going on locally so please pay

attention to your local situation. The first thing to know, though, is most

people are going to get exposed to COVID-19 and many people will get sick. But, the

majority of people will recover with only mild illness. So, if you're young and

healthy you might not actually need to see a doctor and you might not need to

get a diagnostic test. There actually isn't a specific treatment for COVID-19

so you really might be able to ride this out at home. If you are older or have

underlying illnesses you need to contact your health care provider who can give

you specific advice about what you should do. And of course if you have

life-threatening illness you should call 9-1-1. It's really

important that we protect those who are most vulnerable to COVID-19 and that's

older adults and people with underlying illnesses. We need to work together to

protect ourselves, our families, and our communities.
