What are the symptoms of COVID-19?
Typically, human coronaviruses cause mild-to-moderate respiratory illness. Symptoms are very similar to the flu, including:
- Fever
- Cough
- Shortness of breath
COVID-19 can cause more severe respiratory illness.
What if I have symptoms?
If a person develops symptoms of COVID-19, including fever, cough or shortness of breath, and has reason to believe they may have been exposed, they should call their health care provider before seeking care. Contacting them in advance will make sure that people can get the care they need without putting others at risk. Please be sure to tell your health care provider about your travel history. You can also take the following precautionary measures: avoid contact with sick individuals, wash hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.
How can people protect themselves?
There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19. The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). This occurs through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Older adults and people who have severe underlying chronic medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness. Every person has a role to play. So much of protecting yourself and your family comes down to common sense:
- Washing hands with soap and water.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. If surfaces are dirty, clean them using detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.
- Avoiding touching eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your elbow.
- Avoiding close contact with people who are sick.
- Staying away from work, school or other people if you become sick with respiratory symptoms like fever and cough.
Following guidance from public health officials.
Please consult with your health care provider about additional steps you may be able to take to protect yourself.

Great news! The USDA has extended the Seamless Summer waiver that will allow the TUSD Nutrition Services Department to serve FREE meals to anyone 18 and under (not just TUSD students), until June 30, 2021.
Starting September 3, we will serve bulk meals for FREE on Mondays and Thursdays at all TUSD school sites (except Shery High), from 11 AM - 1 PM, and an early morning pick up from 7 AM - 9 AM at the four high schools only (therefore high schools will serve from 7-9 am AND 11-1 pm).
On Mondays, you will receive 3 days’ worth of meals (Monday - Wednesday). On Thursdays, you will receive 2 days’ worth of meals (Thursday - Friday). Meals will include Breakfast and Lunch. Parents/guardians will be allowed to pick up meals for their students without the student present.
Please make sure to apply for the meal program by visiting family.titank12.com and selecting "Apply for Meals Today" since the waiver has been only extended until December 31, 2020. Please see the attached flyer for more information.
