According to the news disseminated, Covid-19 can be transmitted directly (mouth or nose) or indirectly (infected objects or things) or through intercourse with someone who is infected. When someone sneezes, coughs or talks, the fluid that comes out of the nose or mouth can be contagious, the fluid can also be exposed to objects or surfaces that are then touched by other people which causes them to get this Covid-19 infection.

Keeping the distance from one to two meters is a must at this point. Covid-19 is identified by a fever higher than 38 °, a dry cough, and its harder to breath are typical symptoms.
