Questions about COVID-19? Here are some things you want to know:
Symptoms can come with fever, cough and shortness of breath, very unintentional or flu. Some other people would possibly expand a more serious illness. The other people who are most at risk are older people and others with serious chronic diseases such as heart, lung or kidney disease. If you expand your symptoms, contact your public fitness authorities.
To prevent the virus from spreading, experts propose to wash your hands regularly and cough up your sleeve. They also propose to minimize contact with others, stay at home as much as imaginable and stay at a distance of two meters from other people if you pass out. In conditions where it cannot be kept at a safe distance from others, public fitness officials recommend the use of a non-medical mask or blanket to prevent the spread of respiratory droplets that can bring the virus. In some provinces and municipalities throughout the country, masking is now mandatory in indoor public spaces.
