ABOUT THE VIRUS THAT CAUSES COVID-19

Combat the spread of COVID-19
The virus that causes COVID-19 spreads primarily through respiratory droplets released when people cough, sneeze, or speak. A person can also become infected with COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their nose, mouth, or possibly their eyes. Consequently, personal prevention measures(as stay home if they are sick, social distancing, wear a mask ,handwashing) and environmental prevention practices (such as cleaning and disinfection) are important ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
