So what’s all the fuzz about corona virus? What is this virus and where does it come from?
The corona virus (covid-19) according to WHO (as at March 2020), is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered corona virus. It’s been realized that the majority of people who are infected by this virus tend to experience mild to moderate respiratory illness.
The corona virus is linked to the same family of viruses as MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) and SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). Similar to the common cold or influenza, this virus covid-19 also travels from person to person through droplets of saliva through speech, sneeze, or cough. However, unlike the common cold, corona virus tends to cause its victims a serious illness which can cause difficulty in breathing, pneumonia, or even in worst cases death.
The corona virus is known to survive on surfaces for several hours, but the good thing is that simple disinfectants can kill the virus.

We mostly hear do not touch your face in the media, this is a very difficult thing to do, the fact that your presentation outlines “ Do not touch your face if you have not recently washed both hands or used an alcohol-based hand rub.” gives lot of comfort.
Thanks for the article, smooth flow of data and straight to the point.
