Coronavirus is a newly discovered virus. It causes a disease called Covid – 19. In some parts of the world, it has made lots of people sick. Corona is Latin for the crown because, under the microscope, these viruses look like a crown with spikes ending in little blobs. A lot of symptoms are similar to the flu. You may have a dry and itchy cough, fever, lots of sneezing and even hard to breathe. Most people who have gotten sick with this coronavirus have had a mild case. It means you will not feel the disease. But, people who are much older or who already have health problems are more likely to get sicker with coronavirus. If anyone gets sick and feels like they may have coronavirus, they can immediately call their doctors and get help. If there is something, we are not sure about the information, confused or worried about, don’t be afraid to ask someone we trust. Here are some things you can do to protect yourself, your family, and your friends from getting sick: 1) wash your hands often using soap and water. 2) Sneeze into your elbows. It is believed that coronavirus spread through little liquid from our lungs. If you sneeze into your elbows, you can prevent germs from going far into the air. 3) Avoid touching your face. Don’t pick your nose. Don’t touch your mouth. Don’t rub your eyes. They are the places where the virus enters our bodies. Remember that this kind of virus can affect anybody. It doesn’t matter where you come from or what country you are from. Don’t forget, there are a lot of helpers out there who are working to protect us from the virus. We can take it apart by keeping our health and staying at home to stop the virus spread to others. |
