COVID-19
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
Disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment. The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs,sneezes, or exhales. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air, and quickly fall on floors or surfaces.You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within close proximity of someone who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth.

Clean your hands often. Use soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand rub.
social distancing
Maintain a safe distance from anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
wear a mask
Studies show that masks reduce the spray of droplets when worn over the nose and mouth.
Do not touch
The novel coronavirus virus can be transmitted by touch only under certain circumstances.
