Now, just in case there is anyone left in the world who hasn’t heard, the coronavirus is a respiratory illness that originated in china and has spread throughout the world at a rapid rate.

The symptoms include dry cough, fever, fatigue, and in severe cases, difficulty breathing.

With coronavirus, it’s possible to be an asymptomatic carrier, meaning we all need to be careful to avoid spreading the virus, even if you do not have the symptoms, because it is possible to be a carrier and not even know it.

The virus spreads from person-to-person. This can happen:

• Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet)
• Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
• Or by touching a surface that is infected and then touching their own mouth, nose.
