We emphasize again that COVID-19 is a very serious disease. While 80% of individuals
who contract COVID-19 will have mild to moderate symptoms and fully recover, they may
spread the disease to people who are at high risk. The elderly and people with underlying
health conditions or weakened immune systems are at a much higher risk for developing
serious complications from COVID-19. We strongly advise at-risk individuals to minimize
contact with others who are ill and practice social distancing and wear mask when in
public.

Please call the City of Port Arthur Health Department’s COVID line at
