INFORMATION ABOUT COVID-19
The virus known as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel (new) coronavirus. The disease it causes is called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. While there are several other coronaviruses (including the common cold), there is much we do not know yet about COVID-19.
To better protect one another and ourselves, BGSU recommends all employees and students review the links below.
- The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) provides a general background as well as prevention guidelines and actions to take if you are sick.
- The Ohio Department of Health also provides recommendations and requirements that have a more direct effect in Bowling Green Ohio. Useful information is available about the number of cases and hospitalizations in this area.
- Wood County Health Department locally guides public health initiatives, provides guidance, coordination of contact tracing and directions when individuals are suspected or test positive for COVID-19.
- Falcon Health Center can provide advice and medical care, particularly if you do not have a local primary health provider.
