What is the Corona Virus? 

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause respiratory illness in humans. They are called “corona” because of crown-like spikes on the surface of the virus. Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and the common cold are examples of coronaviruses that cause illness in humans

How is the Corona Virus/Covid19 spread?

• The virus travels in respiratory droplets released into the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, talks, sings or breathes near you. You may be infected if you inhale these droplets. 
• You can also get coronavirus from close contact (touching, shaking hands) with an infected person and then touching your face.

How to avoid the spread of Corona Virus/Covid19:-

• Stay 6 feet away from others whenever possible. 
• Wear a cloth mask that covers your mouth and nose when around others. 
• Wash your hands often. If soap isn’t available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. 
• Avoid crowded indoor spaces. Open windows to bring in outdoor air as much as possible. 
• Stay self-isolated at home if you are feeling ill.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.

Common Symptoms of Corona Virus/Covid19:-

Note that symptoms may appear two to 14 days after exposure to the virus. Children have similar, but usually milder, symptoms than adults. Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions are at higher risk of more serious complication from COVID-19.

Home Management for  Corona Virus/Covid19:-

If you have a fever, drink plenty of fluids (water is best), Stay hydrated

If you have a cough, lie on your side or sit up (don’t lie on your back). Add a teaspoon of honey to your hot tea or hot water (don’t give honey to children under 1 year of age). Gargle with salt water. 

If you’re anxious about your breathing, try to relax. Take slow deep breaths in through your nose and slowly release through pursed lips (like you’re are slowly blowing out a candle).

Ways to Prevent against contracting Covid19

• Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds — especially before eating and preparing food, after using the bathroom, after wiping your nose, and after coming in contact with someone who has a cold. 
• Wear a multilayered cloth facemask that fits snugly on your face and covers your mouth, nose and chin as recommended by the CDC. 
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth to prevent the spread of viruses from your hands. 
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when sneezing and coughing or sneeze and cough into your sleeve. Throw the tissue in the trash. Wash your hands afterward. Never cough or sneeze into your hands! 
• Avoid close contact (within 6 feet) with those who have coughs, colds or are sick. Stay home if you’re sick. 
• If you’re prone to sickness or have a weakened immune system, stay away from large crowds of people. Follow the directions of your healthcare authorities, especially during outbreaks. 
• Clean frequently used surfaces (such as doorknobs and countertops) with a virus-killing disinfectant. Use hand sanitizers that contain at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available. 
• Greet people with a friendly gesture instead of shaking hands. 
• Get enough sleep, eat a healthy diet, drink plenty of liquids and exercise if you are able. These steps will strengthen your immune system and help you fight off infections more easily.
