The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.
These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or 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.
How easily a virus spreads from person-to-person can vary. Some viruses are highly contagious (spread easily), like measles, while other viruses do not spread as easily. Another factor is whether the spread is sustained. The virus that causes COVID-19 seems to be spreading easily and sustainably in the community (“community spread”) in some affected geographic areas. Community spread means people have been infected with the virus in an area, including some who are not sure how or where they became infected.
For confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases, reported illnesses have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness and death. Symptoms can include:
CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:
If you are sick with COVID-19 or suspect you are infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, follow the steps below to help prevent the disease from spreading to people in your home and community.
Always get the information you need with required fields. Patients can only submit when they complete all of your required fields. Never receive an incomplete medical form again.
Combine multiple pages into an online form packet. Have your patients fill out their medical history, consent to treat, and demographics all in one new patient intake form packet.
Collect electronic patient signatures before the appointment. Easily give your patients the ability to digitally sign from their phone, tablet, or computer.
Easily build HIPAA compliant online forms. No coding is required to create secure online intake forms for your patients. All patient form submissions are encrypted in transit and rest. A Business Associate Agreement is included with your service.
Have your patient take a picture of their insurance and ID cards. New patients will automatically upload a photo of their card information, so you can verify it before the appointment.
Have your patient enter information once and have it autocomplete throughout your medical form online. Automatically populate PHI directly into additional fields and medical consent forms.
Patients sign and submit forms securely to your online account. Review and manage completed patient forms before the appointment.
Only show information that is relevant to the patient with conditional logic forms. Make it simple for your patients to complete your forms and improve the accuracy of the data you receive with conditional logic.
