    COVID-19 is a respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus which was discovered in 2019. It spreads primarily through respiratory droplets and small particles when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks, especially in crowded indoor settings. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and not all infected people develop symptoms. To prevent infection and slow the spread, people should maintain physical distance when possible, wear masks, wash hands regularly, cover coughs and sneezes, and get vaccinated when available.

    CORONA VIRUS
    COVID-19 is a respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2,
    which was discovered in 2019. The virus primarily spreads from person to
    person via respiratory droplets and small particles produced when an
    infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks. In crowded or poorly
    ventilated indoor settings, the virus spreads quickly. The severity of the
    illness can range from mild to severe, and not everyone infected with the
    virus develops symptoms.

    COVID-19 has different effects on different people. The majority of


    infected people will develop mild to moderate illness and recover
    without the need for hospitalization.
    Fever, cough, tiredness, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, headache,
    aches and pains, diarrhoea, rash on skin or discoloration of fingers and
    or toes, and irritated eyes are the most common symptoms.

    PREVENTION IMMEDIATELY
    If you are exposed to or come into contact with CoVID-19,
    wear a mask when you are around others (even indoors) for
    ten (10) days, monitor your symptoms, and get tested.

    PREVENTION
    Do the following to avoid infection and slow the spread of
    COVID-19:

    When a vaccine is available, get vaccinated.


    Even if they don't appear to be sick, keep at least one
    metre apart.
    When physical separation is not possible or when the
    environment is poorly ventilated, wear a properly fitted
    mask.
    Open, well-ventilated spaces are preferable to closed
    ones. If you are indoors, open a window.
    Hands should be washed with soap and water on a
    regular basis, or cleaned with an alcohol-based hand
    rub.
    When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and
    nose.
    Stay at home and isolate yourself until you feel better.
