How Coronavirus Spreads And How To Prevent It
The Coronavirus is a global pandemic. During this time of difficulty and uncertainty throughout the world, it is imperative to learn about the best practices to protect yourself from the Coronavirus.
HOW IS THE VIRUS SPREAD
According to the CDC Coronavirus is spread in the following way:
“The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.
- Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
- Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.”
Center for Disease Control, 2020
IMPACT
The CoronaVirus pandemic is causing health issues, fatalities, financial distress, fear and anxiety for thousands across the world. It is critical to understand the necessary steps you should be taking to best protect yourself, your family and community. We must do our part to prevent contracting this illness in our homes but also from spreading it to others.
PREVENTION
Below are the steps you should be following to do your part in controlling the spread of COVID-19.
Steps to prevent and control spread of COVD-19:
- Wash your hands often and thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer (with at least 60% to 95% alcohol).
- Cover your coughs and sneezes with an elbow sleeve or tissue.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth, as you can pick up the virus that way.
- Clean frequently touched surfaces and objects like doorknobs and countertops.
- Get the flu shot if you haven’t already! Although the seasonal flu vaccine cannot protect you from COVID-19 directly, you may be more likely to develop severe pneumonia if you contract both diseases simultaneously, By avoiding the flu, you may also avoid making a trip to the doctor in the middle of a COVID-19 epidemic, when health care workers may be overwhelmed with other patients.
- If you feel sick, don’t come to work. See your Doctor and get medical clearance before returning to work.
- Stock up on Hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes/ spray.
- Stay updated on the spread of this virus.

I am very grateful to have encountered this article,,Its happening to me right now. My wife talks everyday to an outside co-worker. They usually talk between the hours of 8pm and 10pm. She does tell me they talk because he sees her as his sister! She talks about him all the time, his dreams and goals within the company. She seems to happy to be on the phone with him. He supposedly is married with kids but that never stops affairs from happening, that I can tell. i had thoughts of finding him or confronting her but I have also heard that could drive them closer together.
