 The virus (COVID-19) is very easy to transmit, it is present in our lives, that is why we

must obey the rules imposed by our government, Covid-19 has brought many deaths in

the world, and this has alarmed us, that is why we are all in our homes complying with

quarantine.

You must wear mask, gloves, antibacterial gel and alcohol, because you must take care of

yourself and others. You should go out only if is necessary, you have to avoid crowded

places, you must be 1 meter away from people, the virus can stay alive for days on the

surface, so you should wash the sole of your shoes when you go out, if you work you

must have the biosecurity tools of the job so as not to infect others.
