To prevent yourself from getting infected from COVID 19 one should first know how the Coronavirus does spread?
When an infected person coughs or sneezes, they release droplets of saliva or mucus.
These droplets can fall on people in the vicinity and can be either directly inhaled or picked up on the hands then transferred when someone touches their face, causing infection.
For flu, some hospital guidelines define exposure as being within six feet of an infected person who sneezes or coughs.
Viruses can also be spread through droplets landing on surfaces such as seats in buses or trains or desks in school.
There is also evidence that Coronavirus can be passed from one person to another before symptoms occur, making it one of the most lethal Viruses of recent times.
