Mayabeque, Cuba: The COVID 19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Most people with it experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without the need for special treatment. However, some people develop severe cases and need medical attention.
The virus can spread from the mouth or nose of an infected person in the form of small liquid particles expelled when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing, or breathe. These particles can range from small aerosols to larger respiratory droplets.
You can get COVID 19 if you breathe near an infected person or if you touch a contaminated surface and then touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. The virus spreads more easily indoors or in crowds.
To prevent the spread of the virus, it is necessary to maintain a safety distance of at least 1 meter from other people, even if they do not appear to be sick.
It is also important to wear a mask in public, especially indoors or when physical distancing is not possible.
Keeping spaces open and well ventilated rather than closed spaces is another helpful measure to prevent disease transmission.
Wash your hands frequently using soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, get vaccinated following the guidelines of the health authorities, cover your nose and mouth with a flexed elbow or a tissue when coughing or sneezing and see a doctor in case of presenting respiratory symptoms are other ways to protect yourself and care for those closest to you.
