HOW TO CONTROL
1. What is a virus?
Viruses are microscopic (super-small) organisms that are spread all over
the world and tend to be parasitic. Almost all ecosystems in the world
contain viruses and are considered as the most numerous organisms on
planet Earth.
Viruses can infect living things, ranging from humans, animals, plants,
fungi, and even bacteria. Many of these viral infections have fatal
consequences for the creatures they infect. Viruses also cannot replicate
(reproduce themselves) without riding on other organisms. For this
reason, viruses are classified as parasitic or harmful organisms.
2. what is corona virus ?

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).
At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19.

However, there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential
treatments. WHO will continue to provide updated information as soon
as clinical findings become available.
3. Know How it Spreads

There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The
best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. The virus is
thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.
o Between people who are in close contact with one another (within
about 6 feet).
o Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person
coughs, sneezes or talks.
o These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are
nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
o Some recent studies have suggested that COVID-19 may be spread
by people who are not showing symptoms.
4. Everyone Should
Everyone needs to reduce activities outside the home to help slow the spread of the
corona virus.
How to prevent its spread
 Clean your hands often
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after
you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
 Avoid close contact
1). Avoid close contact with people who are sick
2). Stay home as much as possible.pdf iconexternal icon
3). Put distance between yourself and other people.
And Remember that some people without symptoms may be able to spread virus.
Keeping distance from others is especially important for people who are at higher
risk of getting very sick.
5. Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others.
 You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick.
 Everyone should wear a cloth face cover when they have to go out in public, for
example to the grocery store or to pick up other necessities.
o Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2,
anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or
otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
 The cloth face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected.
 Do NOT use a facemask meant for a healthcare worker.
 Continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others. The cloth face cover is
not a substitute for social distancing.
6. Cover coughs and sneezes
 If you are in a private setting and do not have on your cloth face covering, remember
to always cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use
the inside of your elbow.
 Throw used tissues in the trash.
 Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap
and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that
contains at least 60% alcohol.
7. Clean and disinfect
 Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables,
doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets,
faucets, and sinks.
 If surfaces are dirty, clean them: Use detergent or soap and water prior to
disinfection.
