How to Prevent from Coronavirus disease(COVID-19).

There is currently no vaccine in 2019 that can stop the coronavirus disease(COVID-19).

The most reliable way to stop or prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus.

The virus first came into being from animals and then the virus is spread mainly from person-to-person.

  • The virus can spread to people who are in contact with each other for about 6 feet.
  • The virus can spread through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

These droplets can arrive in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.People over the age of 50 and those with diabetes or heart or lung disease are at higher risk of getting Covid-29

Please consult with your health care provider about additional steps you may be able to take to protect yourself.

If you are sick: it is important to wear a facemask because when you are around other people, you can make them sick and also have to wear a facemask before you go to the healthcare provider’s office. If you have trouble wearing a facemask (for example, it causes difficulty breathing) then you should try to cover up for coughing and sneezing (for example, using tissue). and people who are taking care of them wear phesamaska ​​If you have access to your room.

If you are NOT sick: You do not need to wear a facemask unless you are caring for a sick person(and they are not able to wear a facemask). Facemasks may be in short supply and they should be saved for caregivers.
