What is coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)?

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus that was first identified during an investigation into an outbreak in Wuhan, China.

Can people in the U.S. get COVID-19?

Yes. COVID-19 is spreading from person to person in parts of the United States. Risk of infection with COVID-19 is higher for people who are close contacts of someone known to have COVID-19, for example healthcare workers, or household members. Other people at higher risk for infection are those who live in or have recently been in an area with ongoing spread of COVID-19. Learn more about places with ongoing spread at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/ transmission.html#geographic.

Have there been cases of COVID-19 in the U.S.?

Yes. The first case of COVID-19 in the United States was reported on January 21, 2020. The current count of cases of COVID-19 in the United States is available on CDC’s webpage at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-in-us.html.

How does COVID-19 spread?

The virus that causes COVID-19 probably emerged from an animal source, but is now spreading from person to person. The virus is thought to spread mainly between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It also may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. Learn what is known about the spread of newly emerged coronaviruses at https://www.cdc.gov/ coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/transmission.html.

What are the symptoms of COVID-19?

Patients with COVID-19 have had mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of • fever • cough • shortness of breath What are severe complications from this virus? Some patients have pneumonia in both lungs, multi-organ failure and in some cases death. How can I help protect myself? People can help protect themselves from respiratory illness with everyday preventive actions.   • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available. If you are sick, to keep from spreading respiratory illness to others, you should • Stay home when you are sick. • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. What should I do if I recently traveled from an area with ongoing spread of COVID-19? If you have traveled from an affected area, there may be restrictions on your movements for up to 2 weeks. If you develop symptoms during that period (fever, cough, trouble breathing), seek medical advice. Call the office of your health care provider before you go, and tell them about your travel and your symptoms. They will give you instructions on how to get care without exposing other people to your illness. While sick, avoid contact with people, don’t go out and delay any travel to reduce the possibility of spreading illness to others.

Is there a vaccine?

There is currently no vaccine to protect against COVID-19. The best way to prevent infection is to take everyday preventive actions, like avoiding close contact with people who are sick and washing your hands often.

Is there a treatment? There is no specific antiviral treatment for COVID-19. People with COVID-19 can seek medical care to help relieve symptoms. For more information: www.cdc.gov/COVID19

  Comments: Comments Off on VILLAGE ELECTIONS MARCH 18, 2020, NOON TO 9 PM. In light of the Covid-19 crisis, absentee ballots are available if you qualify. The Village Hall will be sanitized prior to the election and we will provide individual personal pens, hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipes to all voters. Up for election are the positions of Mayor, three Trustees and Village Justice. Contact Village Hall if you need an absentee ballot.

we advise strongly that you remind your children of the following: 

• A stranger is ANYONE they don’t know;
• They should not wear any type of headphones while outside; this will make them oblivious to any vehicle or person stalking them;
• They should never get into anyone’s car without a parent’s permission;
• They should never take candy or gifts from a stranger. 
• They should never help strangers, no matter how sympathetic they might appear, because adults should NOT ask kids to do things that other adults can do for them;
• They should run away from a car that pulls up beside them if they don’t know the driver;
• They should never invite people into their home without a parent’s permission;
• When in doubt, they should scream as loud as they can to attract attention;
• They should tell an adult if a stranger is taking a picture of them.

Here is a checklist for parents: 

• Keep a recent photo of your child, his or her fingerprints, and a current record of his or her height and weight;
• Keep your cellular phone charged up;
• Make a mental note of what your child is wearing every day;
• Carefully check babysitter and child care references;
• Know your child’s friends’ names, addresses and phone numbers;
• Designate a neighbor’s home as a “safe house” where your child can go if you’re not home;
• Use your cellphone to take photos of any suspicious vehicle or person, and do not hesitate to report either to the Police.

            Although many of these guidelines may seem obvious, they all bear repeating and their importance being emphasized.  Even if you do not have young children in your home, please be alert to any suspicious activity in your neighborhood, use your cellphone to take photos, and always report anything of concern to the Police.  And if you hear a child’s scream, please don’t dismiss it!

            Remember that indifference and complacency are as much of a threat to our children’s safety as are the people who would do them harm.  If we all pay attention to our surroundings and care about our neighbors, we can minimize the chance that those miscreants might succeed.
