CORONAVIRUS

 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 crown, because under the microscope, these viruses look like a crown with spikes.  A lot of symptoms are similar to the flu. You may have a dry and itchy cough, fever, lots of sneezing and it can even be hard to breathe. Most people who have gotten sick with 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. Here are some things you can do to protect yourself, family, and friends from getting sick: 1) wash your hands often using soap and water. 2) Sneeze into your elbows. It is believed that coronavirus spreads through little liquid drops 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 can enter our bodies. Remember that this kind of virus can affect anybody. It doesn’t matter where 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 do our part by taking care of our health and staying at home to stop the virus from spreading to others.
