1. I lost my COVID-19 vaccination card and I am trying to get the booster shot. How can I get a replacement?

The City of McKinney operated its vaccination hub on behalf of the Collin County Health Department. If you received your Covid-19 vaccination through the City of McKinney vaccination hub, please contact the Collin County Health Department to obtain a copy of your vaccination record.

2. What are the symptoms of COVID-19?

Symptoms	Action
Flu-like symptoms Low-grade fever Repeated shaking with chills Muscle pain Headache Sore throat New loss of taste or smell	Call your doctor or other medical facilities. Follow their directions.
High-grade fever Difficulty breathing Chest pains Other life-threatening signs and symptoms	Call 911

Please remember that emergency responders can not diagnose in the field. All individuals arriving at the ER are treated first - on the severity of their symptoms and second - on the order of arrival.

3. How does COVID-19 spread?

Current understanding about how COVID-19 spreads is largely based on what is known about similar coronaviruses. The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person. COVID-19 can spread:

• Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
• Via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes (droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs).

A person may get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their mouth, nose, or eyes. Surface or object exposure is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

4. How can I help protect myself?

There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19, so the best way to protect yourself from illness is to avoid being exposed to the virus. Everyday preventative actions can help mitigate the spread of respiratory viruses including:

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces such as counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets, etc. daily using regular household cleaning sprays or wipes according to the label instructions.
• Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
  • If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
  • Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
• Community-based interventions such as social distancing, wearing masks and working remotely when possible can help slow the spread of COVID-19.

5. Should I wear a face mask?

People are encouraged to follow the CDC’s recommendations for using a face mask.

• The CDC recommends cloth face coverings be worn in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies), especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.
• The CDC also advises the use of simple cloth face coverings to slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others. Cloth face coverings fashioned from household items or made at home from common materials at low cost can be used as an additional, voluntary public health measure.
• Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
• The cloth face coverings recommended are not surgical masks or N-95 respirators. Those are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical first responders, as recommended by current CDC guidance.
• To learn more about homemade cloth face coverings, visit the CDC’s website.

6. Who should city staff report cases of suspected coronavirus to?

7. What should I do if I get sick with COVID-19?

If you are sick with COVID-19 or suspect you are infected with the virus, follow the steps below to prevent the disease from spreading to people in your home and community:

• Stay home except to get medical care.
• Separate yourself from other people and animals in your home.
• Call ahead before visiting your doctor.
• Wear a facemask when you are around other people or pets and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office.
• Cover your coughs and sneezes.
• Clean your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
• Avoid sharing personal household items.
• Clean all ‘high-touch’ surfaces daily.

Monitor your symptoms and if placed under active monitoring or facilitated self-monitoring, follow instructions provided by the local health department.

8. Who is most at-risk for contracting COVID-19?

The people considered to be most at-risk for contracting COVID-19 currently are:

• People in communities where ongoing community spread has been reported.
• Healthcare workers caring for patients with COVID-19.
• Close contacts of persons with COVID-19.
• Travelers returning from affected international locations where community spread is occurring.

9. Is it safe to travel?
