What is covid-19?
The disease COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus. The virus can cause respiratory infection of varying degrees of severity.
It is mainly transmitted via droplet infection, through the virus from the respiratory tract of an infected person spreading to another person via small droplets during coughing, sneezing, etc. Infection can also occur if you get droplets from your respiratory tract on your hands or objects which other people then touch (contact infection).
The virus is killed by washing with soap and water and by disinfection with alcohol or temperatures above 60°C. The virus is also inactivated by sunlight.
- Those who are ill should stay at home
- Practice good hygiene and good practices for sneezing and coughing
