What is COVID-19?

WHAT IS COVID-19?
COVID-19 is the virus currently spreading rapidly. COVID-19
comes from coronavirus. COVID-19 affects your lungs. 


The symptoms/signs that show you possibly have COVID-19 are dry
coughs, high temperature (over 38. degrees),
sore throat, sneezing, runny nose and loss of smell.
If you have any of these symptoms it doesn’t necessarily mean you have COVID-19.


How you can protect yourself and others from spreading COVID-19 is
by coughing into your elbow/tissue, wash your hands for at least
20 seconds with soap, avoid contact with people who are unwell,
avoid personal contact such as kissing, sharing cups…Lastly, 
clean and disinfect objects you touch every day (doorknobs…)


Currently, there is no treatment/cure for COVID-19 but they can
treat the symptoms. 

If you have any of these symptoms you should go to the doctor
straight away!
