What is COVID-19? 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 best way to prevent and slow down transmission is be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face.
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).
To stop the spread of germs, focus your efforts on cleaning areas in the houses and offices where germs are more likely to spread, such as the kitchen and toilet.
Use either soap and hot water to rinse the germs away, or a disinfectant to kill them.
Make sure you dry surfaces such as worktops and chopping boards thoroughly after cleaning. Dampness helps any remaining germs to survive and, if there’s enough water, multiply.
You should clean germ hotspots on a regular basis after use, rather than the customary once-a-week deep clean.
Cleaning aids, such as cloths or mops, must be germ-free or they’ll spread germs to other surfaces.
Here are some general cleaning tips to help prevent the spread of germs in your home and office:
