CALIFORNIA: The National Institutes of Health has claimed that the COVID-19 might spread via the air through normal breathing and speaking.
According to research, the experts believed that the virus could be transmitted by someone who has COVID-19 simply by talking or breathing. The previous study suggested that the illness only spread when someone who was infected shook hands with another person or expelled respiratory droplets while coughing or sneezing.
So far, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has been more cautious about the airborne threat. The WHO has recommended the use of face masks for everyone and advised infected people to cover their faces, as well as those caring for them at home.
The coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory virus which spreads primarily through droplets generated when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose. There are few precautionary measures that a person can take to avoid the deadly virus.
1.) Carry an alcohol-based hand sanitiser with you.
2.) Avoid touching your mouth, nose, and eyes.
3.) Keep a distance of at least one metre from other people.
4.) Avoid large public gatherings.
5.) Stay at home if you feel sick.
6.) Disinfect workplace surfaces, doorknobs, counters.
7.) Cook food thoroughly.
