Why wear a mask? / ហេតុអ្វីបានជាត្រូវពាក់បាំសន្ទះបាំងច្រមុះនិងមាត់
Converging studies show that wearing a mask can help protect both us and the people around us from spreading and catching COVID-19. It’s an empowering way for each of us to protect our communities, our families, and ourselves.

What kinds of masks are acceptable? / តើសន្ទះបាំងច្រមុះនិងមាត់របៀបណាដែលគេទទួលស្គាល់?
Face coverings come in many kinds, ranging from homemade cloth face coverings and plastic face shields to surgical masks and N95 respirators. We encourage Oregonians to continue conserving medical-grade masks for the medical professionals who need them most. Face shields and cloth face coverings are effective for most non-medical uses, and they’re both reusable and washable.

How does coronavirus spread? / តើជម្ងឺកូរូណាវីរូសឆ្លងរបៀបណា?
The virus is spread mainly from person-to-person through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby – within about 6 feet. COVID-19 may be spread by people who are not showing symptoms. It is also possible to get infected after touching an object that has the virus on it.

How severe is COVID-19? / តើជមឺ្ង Covid-19 មានភាពកាចសាហាវរបៀបណា?
Health experts are learning more and more about who becomes sick and the range of illness from coronavirus. Reported cases have ranged from mild illness (similar to a common cold) to severe pneumonia that requires hospitalization. So far, deaths from COVID-19 in Oregon have been reported mainly in older adults who had other health conditions. From the beginning of the pandemic, most children with the novel coronavirus had very mild symptoms. More recently, a new illness in children has been reported that causes severe inflammation throughout the body. The children with this illness are very sick and require hospitalization.

Anyone who comes into contact with the virus can become infected and may or may not show symptoms – coronaviruses spread easily to adults and children.

However, we continue to learn about groups at higher risk of becoming severely ill with COVID-19 including: people with chronic health conditions, people living in group care settings, health care and other essential workers.
