    Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness (see list of symptoms) caused by a virus called SARS-CoV-2.

    Here is what we currently know:

    • The main way the virus spreads is from person to person through respiratory droplets when people cough, sneeze, or talk.

    • You may also be able to get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it, and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.

    • The virus may be spread by people who are not experiencing symptoms.

    COVID-19 can sometimes cause serious complications. People at increased risk for severe illness include:

    • Older adults

    • People of any age who have underlying medical conditions

    As an offshore oil and gas employer, your workforce might come into contact with the virus when:

    • In close contact (within less than 6 feet) at the worksite with other people, which can include rig workers, engineers, technicians, managers, maintenance, galley staff, and housekeeping staff.

    • Touching or handling frequently touched surfaces and equipment, and then touching their mouth, nose, or eyes.
