The lung disease Covid-19 is spreading more and more

worldwide. Read here what you can do to reduce the

risk of contracting yourself and others.

The new corona virus can be transmitted from person to

person primarily by droplet infection. This can be done
directly through the mucous membranes or indirectly
through hands, which then come into contact with the oral or
nasal mucosa and the conjunctiva. There are also known
cases in which people who have only had mild or non-
specific symptoms have contracted those affected. It is
currently assumed that it can take up to 14 days after the
infection to develop symptoms. On average, the incubation
period is five to six days, according to the World Health
Organization (WHO).
