text: Coronavirus Spreads from person to person among those in close contact (within about 6 feet, or 2 meters). The virus, COVID-19 is thought to spread mainly through close contact from person-to-person in respiratory droplets from someone who is infected. People who are infected often have symptoms of illness. Some people without symptoms may be able to spread virus.
  Coronavirus symptoms can be very mild to severe and include a fever, cough and shortness of breath. Some people have no symptoms. Symptoms may appear two to 14 days after exposure.
  The virus spread mainly from person-to-person.
  - Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
  - Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks.
  - These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
  - Some recent studies have suggested that COVID-19 may be spread by people who are not showing symptoms.
  - Maintaining good social distance (about 6 feet) is very important in preventing the spread of COVID-19.
  Contaminated surfaces or objects can cause the spread
  It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. This is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads, but we are still learning more about this virus. CDC recommends people practice frequent “hand hygiene,” which is either washing hands with soap or water or using an alcohol-based hand rub. CDC also recommends routine cleaning of frequently touched surfaces.
  How easily can the Coronavirus Spreads to person to person
  How easily a virus spreads from person-to-person can vary. Some viruses are highly contagious, like measles, while other viruses do not spread as easily. Another factor is whether the spread is sustained, which means it goes from person-to-person without stopping.
  - The virus that causes COVID-19 is spreading very easily and sustainably between people.
  - Information from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic suggest that this virus is spreading more efficiently than influenza, but not as efficiently as measles, which is highly contagious.
  How to be prevented or treated?
  A vaccine isn’t currently available for the coronavirus disease 2019. No antiviral medication is recommended to treat coronavirus yet. Treatment is directed at relieving symptoms.
  How to avoid becoming sick
  According to WHO the following step should be taken:
  - Avoid large events and mass gatherings.
  - Avoid close contact (within about 6 feet, or 2 meters) with anyone who is sick or has symptoms.
  - Keep distance between yourself and others if coronavirus is spreading in your community, especially if you have a higher risk of serious illness.
  - Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
  - Cover your mouth and nose with your elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw away the used tissue.
  - Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
  - Clean and disinfect surfaces you often touch on a daily basis.
