Prevention From Coronavirus

 

In order to protect yourself from the virus, there are some preventive measures listed by the World Health Organization (WHO)

 

The most common way Coronavirus spread is person to person. Mainly through the droplets produced by an infected person while he speaks, sneezes or coughs. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby to the sick person standing in a distance of 1 metre from the person.

 It is still unknown how much the virus stays on an object so it is advised to clean surfaces regularly particularly in the vicinity of people infected with COVID-19.

 

The other way COVID -19 spreads is by touching. Therefore you should avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Since contaminated hands can transfer the virus from the surface to yourself. When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with the bend of your elbow or use a disposable tissue. After using the tissue, discard it immediately.

 

The most effective way to prevent the spread of the new Coronavirus is to clean your hands frequently with an alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water. This will eliminate the virus if it is on your hands.
