'' How to fight of the Covid-19 pandemic How can we fight the Covid-19 pandemic? If we want to fight the Covid-19 pandemic together we must cooperate with each other by following the protocols. The coronavirus COVID-19 is mainly transmitted when people breathe in air contaminated by droplets/aerosols and small airborne particles containing the virus. Transmission is more likely the more physically close people are. However, infection can occur over longer distances, particularly indoors. Infectivity can start four to five days before symptoms appear, but contact tracing usually starts two to three days before symptoms appear. Infected people can spread the disease even if they are asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic. The peak viral load in upper respiratory tract samples most commonly occurs near the time of symptom onset and declines after the first week. Current evidence suggests that people with mild to moderate COVID-19 can be infectious for up to ten days after symptom onset, and people with severe COVID-19, including immunocompromised people, can be infectious for up to 20 days. Infectious particles range in size from aerosols that remain suspended in the air for extended periods of time to microscopic particles.

After exposure to someone who has COVID-19, do the following:
 * Call your health care provider or COVID-19 hotline to find out where and when to get a test.
 * Cooperate with contact-tracing procedures to stop the spread of the virus.
 * If testing is not available, stay home and away from others for 14 days.
 * While you are in quarantine, do not go to work, to school or to public places. Ask someone to bring you supplies.
 * Keep at least a 1-metre distance from others, even from your family members.
 * Wear a medical mask to protect others, including if/when you need to seek medical care.
 * Clean your hands frequently.
 * Stay in a separate room from other family members, and if not possible, wear a medical mask.
 * Keep the room well-ventilated.
 * if you share a room, place beds at least 1-metre apart.
 * Monitor yourself for any symptoms for 14 days.
 * Call your health care provider immediately if you have any of these danger signs: difficulty breathing, loss of speech or mobility, confusion or chest pain.
 * Stay positive by keeping in touch with loved ones by phone or online, and by exercising at home.
