Covid Vocabulary

Safety Tips

Coronavirus A family of related viruses. Many of them cause respiratory illnesses.

Coronaviruses cause COVID-19, SARS, MERS, and some strains of influenza, or flu. The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 is officially called SARS-CoV-2, which stands for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

COVID-19 The name of the illness caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 stands for “coronavirus disease 2019.”

Wear a Face Mask

Avoid Touching Your Face

Social Distance

Clean & Disinfect

Pandemic When a new disease spreads to many countries around the world.

PPE PPE Stands for personal protective equipment. This includes masks, face shields, gloves, gowns and other coverings that healthcare workers use to prevent the spread of infection to themselves and other patients.

Quarantine Sometimes called “isolation.” Quarantines keep people away from each other to prevent the spread of disease. Stay-at-home orders are a type of quarantine.

Social distancing Also called physical distancing. It means putting space between yourself and other people at all times. The goal is to slow down how fast an infection spreads.

Stay-at-home orders are a way that the government can enforce social distancing.

The CDC recommends keeping at least six feet between you and others around you in public. Social distancing also includes avoiding crowds and groups in public.
