3. How it is spreading?
The new coronavirus was transmitted surprisingly from animals to people and human to human.
The prime suspect so far is –
A new virus and called the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been identified as the cause of a disease outbreak that began in China first in the Wuhan area.
The disease is called -coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Because this virus is so new and not much is known about it yet. Continuous research is going on.
Public health groups, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S are trying to innovate.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), are investigating.
The new coronavirus appears to be spreading from person to person, so, be careful.
It may be spread by respiratory droplets when someone infected with the virus coughs or sneezes even talking.
It’s unclear exactly how contagious the virus is!
So, prevention is better than cure.
AS per WHO and CDC recommendation some usual precautions are given below-
- Always wash your hands with soap or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with warm water.
- Always cover your mouth and nose with your elbow or a tissue paper when you cough or sneeze.
- Do not get close contact with anyone who is already sick.
- Clean surfaces you often touch.
- Stay home from work or school and public areas when you’re sick.
CDC doesn’t recommend that healthy people wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19 but for precaution purposes, they can wear..
Only wear a mask if a health care provider tells you to do so.
In addition to the above, the WHO recommends these steps:
- Avoid eating raw or undercooked meat or animal organs.
- If you’re planning to travel internationally then first check the CDC and WHO websites for taking updates and advice.
Also, look for any health advisories that may be in a place where you plan to travel.
Still yet no such confirmed and specific antiviral treatment recommended for coronavirus infection.
- It is better to take Balance food.
- You can take sufficient water.
- Sleep or rest is necessary for health.
You can take pain and fever medications to reduce the effects of the infection and give proper rest to your body which called symptomatic treatment.

7. FAQ:
What Preventions Should You Take?
For prevention do the needful-
- Use soap or hand sanitizer when washing your hands.
- Avoid contact with people who are already infected.
- If you are having an infection, use a face mask or cover your face while coughing and sneezing to prevent it from spreading.
- Avoid eating eggs and meat.
- Keep drinking water and fluids.
- Take proper rest or sleep.
Do I need to wear a mask?
If you’re not already sick and you’re not a health-care worker then the short answer is no.
And you don’t need to buy anything.
The main point of the mask is to keep someone noninfected.
The research found that common surgical masks block the droplets coming out of a sick person from getting into the air.
And they are not tight enough to prevent what’s already in the air from getting in.
Don’t worry! There are some specialized masks also available in the market that is known as- N95 masks because they filter out 95 % of airborne particles and they are really more effective.
Can I take Nonveg food?
It is better to take Green vegetables with proper washing with warm water.
