37. a. Covid-19 How it spreads and precautions to avoid it
Answers
The coronavirus spreads mainly from person to person. A person infected with coronavirus — even one with no symptoms — may emit aerosols when they talk or breathe. Aerosols are infectious viral particles that can float or drift around in the air for up to three hours. Another person can breathe in these aerosols and become infected with the coronavirus.
This can happen between people who are in close contact with one another. Droplets that are produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes may land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby, or possibly be inhaled into their lungs.
Wear a face mask, as advised by the CDC.
Maintain at least six feet of distance between yourself and others.
Avoid large gatherings.
Socialize outdoors.
Get vaccinated as soon as you are eligible.
Everyone:
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Minimize touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Stay home when you are sick.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean frequently touched objects and surfaces regularly.
Wash your hands often with soap and water.
