GENERAL INFORMATION:

How COVID-19 is spread

(CDC- https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/transmission.html)

● Coronavirus (COVID-19) is spread mainly from person to person.

● 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.

● These droplets can land in the mouth or nose of people nearby and possibly be

inhaled into the lungs

● It 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.

Current evidence suggests that novel coronavirus may remain viable for hours to days

on surfaces made from a variety of materials. Cleaning of visibly dirty surfaces

followed by disinfection is a best practice measure for prevention of COVID-19 and

other viral respiratory illnesses in households and community settings.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/cleaning-disinfection.html

Can someone spread the virus without being sick?

● People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the

sickest).

● Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms; there have been

reports of this occurring with this new coronavirus, but this is not thought to be the

main way the virus spreads.

● CDC suggests that the incubation period may range from 2-14 days.

Prevention:

Take steps to protect yourself

Clean your hands often

● Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially

after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or

sneezing.

Information Prepared for Carbon County COVID19 Incident Management Team Current as of: 3/25/2020

● If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at

least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until

they feel dry.

● Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hand

Avoid close contact

● Avoid close contact with people who are sick

● Put distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your

community. This is especially important for people who are at higher risk of

getting very sick.

Take steps to protect others

Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care. Learn what to do if you are

sick.

Cover coughs and sneezes

● Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the

inside of your elbow.

● Throw used tissues in the trash.

● Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If

soap and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer

that contains at least 60% alcohol.

Wear a facemask if you are sick

● If you are sick: You should wear a facemask when you are around other people

(e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s

office. If you are not able to wear a facemask (for example, because it causes

trouble breathing), then you should do your best to cover your coughs and

sneezes, and people who are caring for you should wear a facemask if they enter

your room. Learn what to do if you are sick.

● If you are NOT sick: You do not need to wear a facemask unless you are caring

for someone who is sick (and they are not able to wear a facemask). Facemasks

may be in short supply and they should be saved for caregivers.

Clean and disinfect

● Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables,

doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards,

toilets, faucets, and sinks.

● If surfaces are dirty, clean them: Use detergent or soap and water prior to

disinfection.

What to do if you are sick:

● Call your doctor: If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19 and

develop a fever and symptoms, such as cough or difficulty breathing, call your

healthcare provider for medical advice.

● Stay home except to get medical care

● Separate yourself from other people in your home (home isolation)

Information Prepared for Carbon County COVID19 Incident Management Team Current as of: 3/25/2020

Not everyone needs to be tested for COVID-19. Here is some information that might

help in making decisions about seeking care or testing.

● Most people have a mild illness and are able to recover at home.

● There is no treatment specifically approved for this virus.

● Testing results may be helpful to inform decision-making about who you come in

contact with.

CDC has guidance for who should be tested, but decisions about testing are at the

discretion of state and local health departments and/or individual clinicians.

● Clinicians should work with their state and local health departments to

coordinate testing through public health laboratories, or work with clinical or

commercial laboratories.

How to get tested- swab sent to Wyoming Department of Health Lab

If you have symptoms of COVID-19 (cough, fever, and difficulty breathing) call a

medical provider so they can screen you first and determine next steps. Testing supplies

are limited; therefore, it is important for medical professionals to screen patients first.

What to expect:

1. CALL MEDICAL PROVIDER FIRST: Screening about symptoms and where

you have traveled, or possible exposures

2. Possible flu or strep testing

3. Next steps determined by medical professional if you need COVID-19 testing,

and meet CDC guidelines

Where to get tested after screening, if told to do so:

Questions about Pregnancy and Coronavirus Disease 2019

Pregnant women

Q: What is the risk to pregnant women of getting COVID-19? Is it easier for

pregnant women to become ill with the disease? If they become infected, will

they be sicker than other people?

A: We do not currently know if pregnant women have a greater chance of getting

sick from COVID-19 than the general public nor whether they are more likely to

have serious illness as a result. Pregnant women experience changes in their bodies

that may increase their risk of some infections. With viruses from the same family as

COVID-19, and other viral respiratory infections, such as influenza, women have

had a higher risk of developing severe illness. It is always important for pregnant

women to protect themselves from illnesses.

Q: How can pregnant women protect themselves from getting COVID-19?

A. Pregnant women should do the same things as the general public to avoid

infection. You can help stop the spread of COVID-19 by taking these actions:

Information Prepared for Carbon County COVID19 Incident Management Team Current as of: 3/25/2020

● Cover your cough (using your elbow is a good technique)

● Avoid people who are sick

● Clean your hands often using soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer

You can find additional information on preventing COVID-19 disease at CDC’s

(Prevention for 2019 Novel Coronavirus).

Q: Can COVID-19 cause problems for a pregnancy?

A: We do not know at this time if COVID-19 would cause problems during

pregnancy or affect the health of the baby after birth.

Transmission during pregnancy or during delivery

Q: Can COVID-19 be passed from a pregnant woman to the fetus or newborn?

A: We still do not know if a pregnant woman with COVID-19 can pass the virus that

causes COVID-19 to her fetus or baby during pregnancy or delivery. No infants born

to mothers with COVID-19 have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. In these

cases, which are a small number, the virus was not found in samples of amniotic

fluid or breastmilk.

Questions about Infants and Coronavirus Disease 2019

Infants

Q: If a pregnant woman has COVID-19 during pregnancy, will it hurt the

baby?

A: We do not know at this time what if any risk is posed to infants of a pregnant

woman who has COVID-19. There have been a small number of reported problems

with pregnancy or delivery (e.g. preterm birth) in babies born to mothers who tested

positive for COVID-19 during their pregnancy. However, it is not clear that these

outcomes were related to maternal infection.

Interim Guidance on Breastfeeding for a Mother Confirmed or Under

Investigation for COVID-19

Information Prepared for Carbon County COVID19 Incident Management Team Current as of: 3/25/2020

● This interim guidance is intended for women who are confirmed to have

COVID-19 or are persons-under-investigation (PUI) for COVID-19 and are

currently breastfeeding. This interim guidance is based on what is currently

known about COVID-19 and the transmission of other viral respiratory

infections. CDC will update this interim guidance as needed as additional

information becomes available.

● For breastfeeding guidance in the immediate postpartum setting, refer to:

Interim Considerations for Infection Prevention and Control of 2019

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Inpatient Obstetric Healthcare

Settings.

Transmission of COVID-19 through breast milk

● Much is unknown about how COVID-19 is spread. Person-to-person spread is

thought to occur mainly via respiratory droplets produced when an infected

person coughs or sneezes, similar to how influenza (flu) and other respiratory

pathogens spread. In limited studies on women with COVID-19 and another

coronavirus infection, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV), the

virus has not been detected in breast milk; however we do not know whether

mothers with COVID-19 can transmit the virus via breast milk.

CDC breastfeeding guidance for other infectious illnesses

● Breast milk provides protection against many illnesses. There are rare

exceptions when breastfeeding or feeding expressed breast milk is not

recommended. CDC has no specific guidance for breastfeeding during

infection with similar viruses like SARS-CoV or Middle Eastern Respiratory

Syndrome (MERS-CoV).

Outside of the immediate postpartum setting, CDC recommends that a mother with flu

continue breastfeeding or feeding expressed breast milk to her infant while taking

precautions to avoid spreading the virus to her infant.

Guidance on breastfeeding for mothers with confirmed COVID-19 or under investigation for

COVID-19

● Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for most infants. However, much is

unknown about COVID-19. Whether and how to start or continue

breastfeeding should be determined by the mother in coordination with her

family and healthcare providers. A mother with confirmed COVID-19 or who

is a symptomatic PUI should take all possible precautions to avoid spreading

the virus to her infant, including washing her hands before touching the infant

and wearing a face mask, if possible, while feeding at the breast. If

expressing breast milk with a manual or electric breast pump, the mother

should wash her hands before touching any pump or bottle parts and follow

recommendations for proper pump cleaning after each use. If possible,

consider having someone who is well feed the expressed breast milk to the

infant.

WIC is only available to assist with formula for families that are currently enrolled. Families

that are not enrolled are not able to get formula from WIC. The client may be able to get

some formula from their doctor.

Questions about Children and Coronavirus Disease 2019

CHILDREN (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/specific-

groups/children-faq.html)

Q: What is the risk of my child becoming sick with COVID-19?

A: Based on available evidence, children do not appear to be at higher risk for

COVID-19 than adults. While some children and infants have been sick with

COVID-19, adults make up most of the known cases to date. You can learn more

about who is most at risk for health problems if they have COVID-19 infection on

CDC’s current Risk Assessment page.

Q: How can I protect my child from COVID-19 infection?

You can encourage your child to help stop the spread of COVID-19 by teaching

them to do the same things everyone should do to stay healthy.

● Clean hands often using soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer

● Avoid people who are sick (coughing and sneezing)

● Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces daily in household common areas

(e.g. tables, hard-backed chairs, doorknobs, light switches, remotes, handles,

desks, toilets, sinks)
