COVID 19 INCREASING IN THE CITY

Corona virus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. However,
some people will experience severe pain and require medical assistance. Everyone has a different
response to COVID-19. Most people who are exposed to this virus will experience mild to moderate
symptoms, and will recover without needing to be hospitalized. (Topics)

The virus can be spread from the mouth or nose of an infected person through tiny fluid particles when

from the respiratory tract to smaller aerosols.

You can catch it when you breathe air that contains the virus if you are near someone who is already
infected with COVID-19. You can also catch it if you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth after touching a
contaminated surface. Viruses are easier to spread indoors and in crowded places.(Closing)
