The mystery virus in Wuhan, China has now killed more than 1000 people and infected thousands more people around the world in at least 48 countries, such as Italy and Germany.
The virus seems to be spreading easily. To avoid the coronavirus some tips must be known. If a person with Coronavirus coughs or sneezes and another person is within two metres, they could inhale infected droplets.
Moreover, if an infected person touches a door handle, the other person who touches that door handle could catch the virus.
« Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth » said Dr. William P. Sawyer. If you never touch your facial mucous membranes, you are less likely to be sick again from any viral respiratory infection. « Eyes, nose, mouth, all those membranes are the portal into the body for the Coronavirus » said Mary Louise McLaws, professor of epidemiology. This is why it’s really important to wash your hands regularly. It’s important to take whatever precaution you can by continuing to maintain good hygiene. The best way to stop contamination is to avoid contact with people. Pets can also catch Coronavirus and the infections can become severe. Sometimes, the virus can lead to deadly diseases.
Some countries take precaution such as Japan where they decided to close their schools for at least a month. Iran canceled Friday Prayers in most of their cities. In the United States, people who had been at risk are under quarantaine, and some schools are also forced to close.
