About COVID-19
Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.
Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.
Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.
Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.
hope it helps :)
Answer:
What to say in COVID-19 situations
We each have an obligation to help make sure our actions match our words when it comes to COVID-19 safety measures. At some point, most of us will find ourselves in a position to remind patients, visitors and even our colleagues about the importance -- and the expectation -- to wear a mask to protect others from potential infection.
Finding the words can be difficult,. Below are some suggestions for what to say to patients and visitors, as well as co-workers, when you have the opportunity to remind them to wear a mask and take other safety precautions.
Keeping all of us safe is a team effort. You may remember when we put so much emphasis on getting our hand-washing rates to near 100% levels? We agreed that the only acceptable answer if someone reminded us to wash our hands was "thank you." And that helped us reach our objective.
The same is true now -- if you are the person being reminded, remember the intention of the reminder is positive. Thank them for caring about you and our community enough to say something.

Don’t forget to put on your mask. It’s one of the best things we can do to keep ourselves and others safe.
I see that you’re not wearing your mask. Can you please put one on?
Because we are a hospital and there are a lot of sick people here, we ask you to wear a mask to protect our patients, families and staff.

I can understand your view of not wearing one, but this is for everyone’s safety and our organization’s policy.
Unfortunately, I cannot allow you to enter our facility without wearing a mask.
I can’t tolerate wearing a mask, so I don’t wear one.
I’m glad to hear you are COVID negative, but for your safety and others we need you to still wear a mask.
Why is my temperature being checked?
The Tennessee Department of Health recommends that we do this to minimize the risk of exposure.
Why am I being asked symptom questions?
People with COVID don’t always have a fever, so we need to ask about other symptoms as well.
The CDC recommends that we screen for these symptoms to ensure everyone’s safety.
