If you feel like information about COVID-19 changes so quickly you can’t keep up, you’re not alone.

To help navigate the current state of the pandemic, we asked medical professionals from three Valley hospitals to answer these important questions:
 

1. How easily is the virus spread? Dr. Thomas Utecht, System Chief Medical Officer, Community Health System

2. Can melanin, or pigment in the skin, protect you from the virus? Dr. Rachel Yankey, Quality Medical Director, Saint Agnes Medical Foundation

3. How does COVID-19 affect children? Dr. David Christensen, Chief Physician Executive, Valley Children’s Hospital
