The evidence shows that SARS-CoV-2 may spread more easily and cause
life-threatening illness in some people. Like other coronaviruses, it can
survive in the air and on surfaces long enough to infect someone.
However, SARS-CoV-2 multiplies faster in the body even when you don’t
have symptoms. Additionally, you can pass on the virus even if you never
get symptoms at all.
Some people have mild to moderate symptoms only, while others have
Some people have mild to moderate symptoms only, while others have
severe COVID-19 symptoms. Here are the medical facts to help us
understand how to best protect ourselves and others.
Stay informed with our live updates about the current COVID-19 outbreak.

advice on prevention and treatment, and expert recommendations.
Follow the guidelines to help protect yourself from catching, carrying and
passing on SARS-CoV-2.
You can also use an antibacterial and antiviral soap. Use hand sanitizer
when you cannot wash your hands properly. Rewash your hands several
times a day, especially after touching anything including your phone or
laptop.
Avoid touching any part of your face or head including your mouth, nose,
and eyes. Also avoid biting your fingernails. This can give SARS-CoV-2 a
chance to go from your hands into your body.
Disinfect areas after you bring groceries or packages into your home. Use
white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide solutions for general cleaning in
between disinfecting surfaces.
You can still get delivery or takeaway food. Choose foods that are
thoroughly cooked and can be reheated. High heat (at least 132°F/56°C,
according to one recent, not-yet-peer-reviewed lab study) helps to kill
coronaviruses. This means it may be best to avoid cold foods from
restaurants and all food from buffets and open salad bars.
When used correctly, these masks can help prevent people who are
asymptomatic or undiagnosed from transmitting SARS-CoV-2 when they
breathe, talk, sneeze, or cough. This, in turn, slows the spread of the virus.
The CDC’s website provides instructions for making your own mask at
home, using basic materials such as a T-shirt and scissors.
Wearing a mask alone will not prevent you from getting a SARS-CoV-2
infection. Careful handwashing and social (physical) distancing must
also be followed.
You can transfer the virus from your hands to the mask. If you’re
wearing a mask, avoid touching the front of it.
You can also transfer the virus from the mask to your hands. Wash your
hands if you touch the front of the mask.
Wear a mask and wash your hands as much as possible. If you need urgent
medical care, wear a mask and let them know you may have COVID-19.
This means that the SARS-CoV-2 virus may multiply and spread in someone
who has COVID-19 disease almost twice as fast as other coronavirus
infections.
Call your doctor if you think you or a family member may have a SARS-CoV-
2 infection or if you have any symptoms of COVID-19. Do not go to a
medical clinic or hospital. This helps to avoid spreading the virus.
Be extra watchful for worsening symptoms if you or your loved one has an
underlying condition that may give you a higher chance of getting severe
COVID-19, such as:
diabetes
heart disease
difficulty breathing
confusion
