Coronavirus is a type of virus that effects the lungs and the respiratory system. It is one of the most infectious viruses and it is usually transmitted through saliva, coughs, sneezes, or small droplets expelled from the nose.
Coronavirus is fast-moving in nature that can spread through both air and water. It causes coughing fits that may last for weeks without any relief to those who are affected by it. It also leads to pneumonia as a secondary infection which may lead to death in some cases.
Since COVID-19 can be transmitted from person to person, the best way to avoid it is by preventing people from coming into contact with the virus in the first place. The best way to do this is by instituting standard precautions such as hand hygiene and wearing masks when needed while handling patients or bodies of patients who have died from COVID-19.
