“The coronavirus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person. Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks.” Dr. Chung Hee Yoon said.

Coronavirus spreads from person-to-person. And she also said how to protect yourself from the virus. You always have to wear masks when going out, and wash your hands for more than 30 seconds when you get home. And it is important to keep a safe distance from people.

“If you are sick, do not go out except to get medical care. If your family is sick, you should use a separate room and bathroom and wash your hands often. It is important to wear a mask at home and to disinfect rooms, bathrooms and other things all the time.”

While it is important for people to thoroughly prevent themselves from being infected with the coronavirus, it is also important how to cope with it if people are infected with the virus. Dr.ddd also told us how to cope with the virus if your family has it.
