    The document discusses how to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. It explains that COVID-19 spreads through respiratory droplets when infected people breathe, talk, cough or sneeze. Physical distancing, wearing masks, hand hygiene, vaccination and avoiding crowded indoor spaces can help prevent transmission. The conclusion notes that while most coronaviruses circulate in animals, COVID-19 jumped from animals to humans and has spread globally, causing a sometimes deadly respiratory illness.

    HOW TO PREVENT

    YOURSELF FROM THE


    CORONA VIRUS
    By:- Lokesh Jhawar

    Section-E
    What is Corona Virus?
    Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2
    virus. Most people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate
    respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment.
    However, some will become seriously ill and require medical attention. Older people
    and those with underlying medical conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
    chronic respiratory disease, or cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
    Anyone can get sick with COVID-19 and become seriously ill or die at any age.
    How does the coronavirus
    spread?
    As of now, researchers know that the coronavirus is spread through droplets
    and virus particles released into the air when an infected person breathes,
    talks, laughs, sings, coughs or sneezes. Larger droplets may fall to the ground
    in a few seconds, but tiny infectious particles can linger in the air and
    accumulate in indoor places, especially where many people are gathered and
    there is poor ventilation. This is why mask-wearing, hand hygiene and
    physical distancing are essential to preventing COVID-19.
    Ways To Prevent yourself
    • Maintain a safe distance from others (at least 1 metre), even if they don’t appear to
    be sick.
    • Wear a mask in public, especially indoors or when physical distancing is not
    possible.
    • Choose open, well-ventilated spaces over closed ones. Open a window if
    indoors.
    • Clean your hands often. Use soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand rub.
    • Get vaccinated when it’s your turn. Follow local guidance about
    vaccination.
    • Cover your nose and mouth with your bent elbow or a tissue when you
    cough or
    sneeze.
    • Stay home if you feel unwell.
    Conclusio
    n
    • There are hundreds of coronaviruses, most of which circulate in animals. Only
    seven of these viruses infect humans and four of them cause symptoms of the
    common cold. But, three times in the last 20 years, a coronavirus has jumped from
    animals to humans to cause severe disease.
    • COVID-19, a new and sometimes deadly respiratory illness that is believed to have
    originated in a live animal market in China, has spread rapidly throughout that
    country and the world.
