COVID-19

What is a Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious

disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.Most people infected with the COVID-19
virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special
treatment.  Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular
disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious
illness.

The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is be well informed about the
COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from
infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your
face. 

The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the
nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice
respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).

At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However, there
are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments. WHO will continue to provide
updated information as soon as clinical findings become available.

What is a cause of COVID-19? Corona virus infection or covid-19 was caused by

coronavirus, which is a group of viruses that infect respiratory systems. In most cases,
coronavirus only causes mild respiratory infections to moderate levels, such as flu. However, it
can also cause serious respiratory infections, such as pneumonia, middle-east respiratory
syndrome, and SARS.

It's been thought that the corona virus was originally transmitted from animals to humans.
But then it became known that the corona virus was also transmitted from human to human. A
person can catch covid-19 in various ways, namely; Accidentally inhaling the spit of a sneeze ora
cough of a covid-19 person holding his mouth or nose without first washing his hands after
touching the drool-spattered things of a covid-19, in close contact with a covid-19, such as
touching or shaking hands.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) can infect anyone, but the effects will be more dangerous or
even fatal in the case of an elderly person, a pregnant mother, a sick person. Or people with poor
immune systems.

What are the dangers of Coronavirus (COVID-19)? So, there's a lot of danger that this
coronavirus, that this coronavirus has become a deadly plague, and that at the same time that
coronavuses become a pandemic of the world, that several countries have lockdown to stopping
the epidemic, because the global economy is so decreasing. So, how do I prevent the spread of
this coronavirus (covid-19)? there's no vaccine to prevent corona virus infection or covid-19.
Therefore, the best precaution is to avoid factors that might cause you to become infected with
the virus: avoid traveling to social centers that are crowded. Mask your face when going public
or in public. Regularly washing their hands with water and soap or hand sanitizer containing
alcohol at least 60% for outdoor or public activities. Do not touch your eyes, mouth, and nose
before washing your hands. Avoid contact with animals, especially wild ones. If there's contact
with an animal, wash your hands after. Cook the meat thoroughly before it is consumed. Cover
your mouth and nose with tissues when you cough or sneeze, then throw the tissues in the trash.
Avoid close association with people who are experiencing illnesses of fever, cough, ora cold.
Keep your frequent touch and environmental environment clean.
