With COVID-19 (Coronavirus) sweeping the world and showing no signs of abating, it is crucial that we understand how to safeguard ourselves and help our peers as well.

Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV).

 

The common symptoms of COVID-19 are:

Coronavirus/COVID-19 usually spreads through being in a crowded place/market, touching someone who is infected, or droplets through sneezing or coughing.

 

How can we prevent it?
