Description:Updated Nov. 13, 2020
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.
