COVID-19 is the official name that the WHO has given to the famous Coronavirus. This name change is due to the fact that coronaviruses are an extensive family of viruses (not a specific virus) that cause from the most common cold, to diseases such as MERS and SARS. Therefore, the WHO named this new strain belonging to the coronavirus family as COVID-19.

We have compiled a list of recommendations given by WHO prevent the spread of COVID-19:

  • Wash your handsfrequently, either with a disinfectant or with soap and water to kill the virus if it is in your hands.
  • When you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and nosewith your elbow flexing or with a handkerchief and wash your hands.
  • Try to maintain a social distanceof at least 1 meter with other people.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth, since we may have touched a contaminated area.
  • If you have a cough, fever or difficulty breathing, see the doctor as soon as possible.
  • If we visit a market of fresh food or animal products, or even some bonding with live animals, we must follow general hygiene measures, such as disinfecting our hands, avoiding touching our faces.
  • Do not eatraw or undercooked animal products.

On the other hand these are the tips if you are going to travel:
