How does the Covid-19 virus spread?
The virus is transmitted through direct contact with respiratory droplets from an infected person (which is caused by coughing or sneezing), and by contact with surfaces contaminated with the virus. Covid-1 virus can survive on surfaces for several hours, but it can be eliminated by wiping surfaces with simple disinfectants.

What are the symptoms of coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19)?
Symptoms can include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. In severe cases, the disease can cause pneumonia or difficulty breathing, and it can also cause death in fewer cases.
These symptoms are similar to the symptoms of influenza or a common cold, and they are much more common than Covid-19 disease - so tests are needed to confirm if a person has Covid-19 disease. It is important to remember that the main preventive measures are the same - frequent hand washing, and respiratory hygiene (containing coughing or sneezing by bending the elbow to cover the mouth or with a tissue) and then throwing the tissue in a closed trash can). A flu vaccine is available - so family members must receive the latest new vaccines.
How can I avoid the risk of getting sick?
Here are four precautions you and your family members should take to avoid infection:
Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or an alcohol-based antiseptic.
Contain a cough or sneeze by bending the elbow to cover the mouth or with a tissue, then throw the tissue in a closed trash can.
Avoid close contact with anyone who has cold or flu-like symptoms.
If you have a fever, cough, and trouble breathing, seek medical attention immediately.
What should I do if a family member shows symptoms of illness?
You should seek medical attention at an early stage if you, or if your child has a fever, cough, or difficulty breathing. Consider contacting beforehand with your medical care provider if you have traveled to an area where '19 يد cofeed disease' has arisen, or if you have been in close contact with someone who has traveled from one of these areas with symptoms of respiratory disease.
Should I keep my child out of school?
If your child develops symptoms of illness, direct to provide medical care for the child and adhere to the directions of the medical provider. As is the case with other respiratory infections such as influenza, you should keep your child at home as long as symptoms persist on him, and avoid being in public places to prevent the spread of the disease to others.
And if your child does not have any symptoms such as fever or coughing - and as long as there is no public health alert or other related warnings or formal advice affecting your child's school - it is best to keep your child in school.
Rather than keeping children out of school, they should be taught good hygiene practices for the hands and respiratory system while they are in and out of school, such as frequent hand washing (see below), containing coughing or sneezing by bending the elbow to cover the mouth or with a tissue, and then throwing the tissue in a closed trash can, And not to touch the eyes, mouth or nose if they have not washed their hands properly.
Should I wear a medical mask?
It is recommended to use a medical mask if you develop symptoms of a respiratory illness (coughing or sneezing) to protect others. If you do not have symptoms, then you do not need to wear a mask.
If used as a mask, it must be disposed of appropriately, checked for efficacy, and avoided increased risk of spreading the virus.
Using the mask alone is not enough to prevent infection, and it must be accompanied by frequent washing of hands, containing respiratory droplets from sneezing and coughing, and avoiding close contact with anyone with flu-like symptoms (coughing, sneezing, fever)
