    An explanation text describes how and why things happen through sequential or cause-and-effect explanations. It has a title identifying the topic, an opening statement, clear paragraphs explaining the process, and a concluding paragraph summarizing the information. COVID-19 spreads mainly through respiratory droplets from sneezes and coughs of infected people, which can land in the mouth, eyes or nose of others within 2 meters. Touching contaminated surfaces and then the face is another possible route of transmission, so physical distancing and avoiding contact are most effective in preventing spread.

    Hello!
    How Do People Get Infected by COVID-19?

    “
    From the beginning of 2020, the world has been in an emergency status following the outbreak of
    an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease,
    known as Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), as of today (May 2020) has killed 247 thousand people
    worldwide. There are 3.5 million confirmed cases in 210 countries and territories around the world. But
    how do people get infected by COVID-19?

    COVID-19 is a respiratory disease; therefore, it is mainly transmitted through "respiratory


    droplets", droplets of virus-laden mucus that are ejected when symptomatic people sneeze or cough. To
    prevent these droplets from falling on people is why it is advised for us to maintain 2-metre distance from
    each other. Wearing face masks is also important to prevent ejection the droplets and reduce the chance
    of incidentally inhaling them.
    Transmission by contact is also a possible route of the infection. Viral particles from the respiratory
    droplets land on an object, someone touches the object, then touches their mouth, eyes, or nose. The
    virus then slips into their body via their mucous membrane, infecting the person.  
    More studies are still being conducted to this day to learn more about the virus, how it is spread,
    and how to stop it. So far, the most effective way to cut the routes of transmission is by maintaining
    physical distance and avoiding prolonged contact.
