The Covid-19 pandemic is still affecting people, and there is no clear end in sight. Most coronavirus victims experience mild to moderate respiratory illnesses and recover without the need for special care. However, some people will get really ill and need medical care.
The coronavirus can spread from an infected person’s lips or nose in microscopic liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing, or breathe, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Larger respiratory droplets and smaller aerosols are among these particles. If you are close to someone who has COVID-19, you can become infected by breathing in the virus or by contacting a contaminated surface and then touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. In enclosed spaces and busy environments, the virus spreads more quickly.
Get immunised and continue to take all necessary precautions to safeguard your community, your family, and yourself.
