Questions about COVID-19? Here are some things you want to know:
Symptoms can come with fever, cough and shortness of breath, very much to those without blood or flu. Some others would possibly expand a more serious disease. Other people who are most at risk are older people and others with serious chronic diseases such as heart, lung or kidney disease. If symptoms expand, contact your public health authorities.
To prevent the virus from spreading, experts propose to wash their hands regularly and cough up their sleeves; they also propose to minimize contact with others, stay at home as much as possible and stay within two metres of others. In conditions where it cannot be kept at a safe distance from others, public fitness officials recommended the use of a mask or non-medical blanket to prevent the spread of respiratory droplets that can bring the virus. In some provinces and municipalities across the country, masks or masks are now mandatory in indoor public spaces.
