CAUSE OF PANDEMIC “COVID 19”

Infection with the new coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, or SARS-
CoV-2) causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

The virus that causes COVID-19 spreads easily among people, and more continues to be
discovered over time about how it spreads. Data has shown that it spreads mainly from person to
person among those in close contact (within about 6 feet, or 2 meters). The virus spreads by
respiratory droplets released when someone with the virus coughs, sneezes, breathes, sings or
talks. These droplets can be inhaled or land in the mouth, nose or eyes of a person nearby.

In some situations, the COVID-19 virus can spread by a person being exposed to small droplets or
aerosols that stay in the air for several minutes or hours — called airborne transmission. It's not
yet known how common it is for the virus to spread this way.

It can also spread if a person touches a surface or object with the virus on it and then touches his
or her mouth, nose or eyes, but the risk is low.

Some reinfections of the virus that causes COVID-19 have happened, but these have been
uncommon.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO FIGHT

COVID 19 VIRUS
To prevent the spread of COVID-19:
 Maintain a safe distance from others (at least 1 metre), even if they don’t appear to be
sick.
 Wear a mask in public, especially indoors or when physical distancing is not possible.
 Choose open, well-ventilated spaces over closed ones. Open a window if indoors.
 Clean your hands often. Use soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand rub.
 Get vaccinated when it’s your turn. Follow local guidance about vaccination.
 Cover your nose and mouth with your bent elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
 Stay home if you feel unwell.
  If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention. Call in advance
so your healthcare provider can direct you to the right health facility. This protects you,
and prevents the spread of viruses and other infections.
Masks
 Properly fitted masks can help prevent the spread of the virus from the person wearing the
mask to others. Masks alone do not protect against COVID-19, and should be combined
with physical distancing and hand hygiene. Follow the advice provided by your local
health authority.
