HOW IS COVID-19 SPREAD?
HOW IS COVID-19 SPREAD? The coronavirus isn't spread through the air. It is spread through droplets expelled through coughs or sneezes from infected persons. The droplets stay suspended in the air for a short time and settle on surfaces like tables, door handles etc. *** YOU CAN GET INFECTED IF...*** 1. You are in close contact with person who coughs or sneezes in your face 2. If you touch a contaminated surface or an infected person's contaminated hands and touch your face (mouth, nose, eyes) with your unwashed hands. *** STAY SAFE *** Wash your hands with soap and water frequently for at least 20 seconds (sing the Happy Birthday song twice) If soap and water are not available use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 70% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry. Do not touch your face with unwashed hands Stay at least 1.8m away from anyone who is coughing or sneezing. No hand shaking!
