Prevention Of Covid-19 Infographic

Older people and those with such chronic conditions, such as heart disease, lung disease or diabetes, are at greater risk of developing serious illnesses associated with COVID-19.

The flu virus and the virus that causes covid-19 could be spreading at the same time this fall and winter. The hospital sector can be overburdened when it comes to the care of flu patients and covid-19 patients. This suggests that vaccination against influenza is more important than ever in 2020-2021.

You know how it spreads

COVID-19 is transmitted to people mainly through the following channels:

• Between people who have close contact with each other (within 6 feet).

• Respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, breathes, sings or speaks.

• Respiratory droplets can cause infection when inhaled or deposited on mucous membranes, such as those inside the nasal cavity and mouth.

• People who are infected but have no symptoms can also transmit the virus to others.

  
  

An uncommon route of transmission of COVID-19

• In some cases (for example, when people are in enclosed Spaces with poor ventilation), COVID-19 is sometimes transmitted through the air.

• COVID-19 is less transmitted by contact with contaminated surfaces.
