How to Protect Your Family and Yourself From Corona Virus

by Diky Wahyudi

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment.  Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.

The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).

The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face.  

Do self social distancing. Social distancing means reducing your social interaction. This can be done by keeping yourself and your family inside the house. Only go out when it’s really necessary, such as buying groceries and going to the hospital.

Keep yourself and your family healthy. Eating more vegetables and fruits. And don't forget to do sport.

These are some ways to protect your family and you from Coronavirus.
