WHAT DO U KNOW ABOUT COVID 19

What is corona virus/Covid-19?

COVID-19 is a viral respiratory illness caused by a newly identified coronavirus that was discovered in
late 2019 in China. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses, and it is estimated that they cause
roughly one-third of all cases of the common cold. Some coronaviruses cause illnesses in people and
others only circulate among animals. Rarely, animal coronaviruses can evolve and infect people. The
virus causing COVID-19 may have emerged from an animal source, and it is now able to spread from
person to person.

How does it spread?

The virus is thought to spread between people who are in close contact (within about six feet) through
respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. It may also spread
when one person touches a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touches their mouth,
nose, or eyes. However, this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

What are the symptoms?

This coronavirus causes mild to severe respiratory illness with fever, cough, and difficulty breathing.
Some people may experience other symptoms, including muscle aches, headaches, sore throats or
diarrhea. Evidence suggests that incubation period for COVID-19 is between 2-14 days. 

Treatment and prevention

There is no antiviral treatment recommended for COVID-19. People with COVID-19 may receive

supportive care to help relieve symptoms. Patients may also be asked to self-quarantine at home in
order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

Prevention

No vaccine is currently available for the coronavirus causing COVID-19. The best way to prevent the
illness is to avoid exposure through simple precautions.
Prevention steps include: 

1.Wash your hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to
the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. 

2.Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol if soap and water are not
readily available. 

3.Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning
spray or wipe. 

4.Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

5.Stay home if you’re feeling sick. 

TELL YOUR DAILY ACTIVITY AT HOME

In the morning, I usually wake up at 6 o’clock. I do physical exercise for 5 minutes so I don’t feel
sleepy. When I have morning class, I have a shower immediately.
Then, I go to campus by motorcycle. Sometimes, I pick up my friend then we go together. On the way
to campus, we buy and eat breakfast at one food stand near campus. We chat along the way about
many things. We love talking about funny things. We laugh and feel really happy.

While waiting for a next class, I go to my friend’s house. Sometimes, I wait in campus while doing
some tasks. Joining some organizations at campus makes me quite busy but still happy. I need to
manage my time very well so I can set up priority.

I always try to finish all tasks before due date. I usually go home at 3 o’clock and take a rest. I hang
out with my friends in the evening then have dinner together. Finally, I go to bed at 11 to 12 p.m.
when all tasks are finished.
