GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT SARS-Co-V-2

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that cause disease (from common cold to more serious respiratory illnesses) and exist between humans and animals. In this case, SARS-COV2 appeared in China in December 2019 and causes a disease called COVID-19, which spread throughout the world and was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization.

Human coronaviruses are transmitted from one infected person to others:

• through the droplets that a patient expels when coughing and sneezing
• when touching or shaking the hand of a sick person,
• through an object or surface contaminated with the virus and then bringing your dirty hands to your mouth, nose or eyes.

The symptoms are: cough, fever, headache and that is accompanied by any of the following:

•      breathing difficulty
•      sore or burning throat
•      runny nose
• fever
•      red eyes
•      muscle or joint pain
•      diarrhea, abdominal pain
•      conjunctivitis
•      headache
•      loss of sense of smell or taste
•      skin rash or loss of color on the fingers and toes
• tiredness

The best ways to prevent infection are:

• Wash your hands frequently with soap and water and use 70% alcohol-based gel solutions.
• Practice the coughing and sneezing etiquette: covering the nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing, with a disposable tissue or the internal angle of the arm.
• Don’t spit. If necessary, use a disposable tissue, put it in a plastic bag, tie it andthrow it in the trash; then wash your hands.
• Do not touch your face with dirty hands, especially nose, mouth and eyes.
• Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects of common use in offices, closed places, transportation and meeting centers, among others.
