AS COVID-19 VACCINATIONS BEGIN, THE U-S SURGEON GENERAL SAYS EVERYONE MUST REMAIN VIGILANT AND DO THEIR PART, EVEN IF THEY FEEL THEY AREN'T AFFECTED BY THE VIRUS.

YOU MAY NOT BE TOO WORRIED ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS, BUT SURGEON GENERAL JEROME ADAMS REMINDS IT IS UNFORGIVING AND NOT PARTICULAR ABOUT WHO IT HITS.

SURGEON GENERAL JEROME ADAMS SAYS IT LOOKS LIKE ILLINOIS IS STARTING TO HEAD IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, AND THAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO CONTINUE TO DO THEIR PART. HE WARNS ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF HOSPITALS ARE OVERBURDENED WITH CORONAVIRUS PATIENTS.

JEROME SAYS 50 PERCENT OF PEOPLE SPREADING THE VIRUS DON'T HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS AND PROBABLY DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY HAVE COVID, MAKING IT SO IMPORTANT TO WEAR A MASK, SOCIAL DISTANCE AND WAIT TO GET TOGETHER WITH THOSE OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSEHOLD.
