Things to do during this Coronavirus situation

To help everyone in this serious situation that's affecting the whole world, here are some ways you can help in preventing further spread of the virus.

1. Practice social distancing.

This means to put a large space between you and another person to prevent the virus from spreading. You will have a lower chance of getting the virus if you're at least six feet away from people.

2. Stay at home if you're unwell.

And see a doctor. Some of the coronavirus symptoms are coughing, sneezing, fever and difficulty breathing. Avoid crowded places. Try not to go out if you're sick. But if you have to, wear a mask. Be socially responsible.

3. Wash your hands frequently and with soap.

Everything we touch in public including bus and train holders is filled with germs and you never know whether someone infected with the virus has touched it. If you accidentally or have to touch something, use a hand sanitizer afterward or wash your hands with soap before touching anything else.

4. Do not touch your face. 

That includes your eyes, nose, and mouth. If you do, it increases the chance of you getting the virus.

5. Do not panic buy.

Please don't make it hard for other people such as the elderly who need the necessities more than you do. Buy only what you usually need.
