The name “crown” is due to the crown of thorns that surrounds it. These spines are surrounded by a layer of fat that is removed from human cells. It enters this layer of fat to invade other cells. Without this thin layer of fat, the coronavirus dies.
Coronaviruses are transmitted through the air and mucous membranes. The virus survives for a long time by sneezing and coughing drops. To avoid contamination from the drops, it is recommended to stay at least five feet from people who cough or sneeze.
The virus is also in aerosol drops. They are so small and thin that they are suspended in the air and mainly contaminate people who are indoors with air conditioning.
Wash your hands frequently
Wash your hands regularly with alcohol gel or soap and water. Alcohol and soap kill viruses that may be on your hands.
Maintain social distance
Keep at least a meter or two meters between you and people who cough or sneeze. The Covid-19 virus is transmitted by droplets found in the nasal discharge and saliva. The distance between people with flu symptoms prevents the drops from reaching you.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Hands touch all kinds of surfaces and can catch viruses. Once contaminated, the hands can transfer the virus to the eyes, nose, and mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and make you sick.
Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze
When surrounded by people, cover your mouth with the curve of your elbow when you sneeze or cough. It is also possible to use handkerchiefs, which should be discarded immediately after use: fold them with the used part inwards to avoid the spread of the virus.
If you have a fever, cough, and shortness of breath, call the health center.
If you feel bad, stay home. If you have symptoms such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath, call the nearest health center. After the call, health agents will tell you what to do: if you should stay home, if they will refer you to a professional or if you can go to an Emergency Care Unit (UPA).
