Updates from Boulder County Public Health can be found online:
Symptoms: Fever, cough, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
For the majority of confirmed cases, symptoms have been mild and resolved after several days.
When to contact a health care professional:
- If you have spent time in impacted areas during the past 14 days and have a fever, cough or difficulty breathing
- If you have had recent contact with a coronavirus case and are experiencing a fever or lower respiratory symptoms (cough, shortness of breath, chest pain)
- If seeking medical care and you suspect coronavirus, call ahead and let the medical office or emergency room know about your symptoms and any recent travel.
- If you have traveled from China, the CDC now requires that you be monitored for up to 14 days. You should contact your health care provider for further guidance and recommendations.
Recent travel with cold symptoms should not trigger significant concern. Symptoms that seem to be worse, including cough and fever, are more likely to represent flu than coronavirus at this time.
