The novel coronavirus spread is\nchanging daily life in the United States. The new virus COVID-19 continues to\nspread across the country, affecting daily lives in a way that it poses a serious\nthreat to the country\u2019s economy.

With a powerful country facing a\nserious coronavirus outbreak, it is natural to wonder whether you get\ncontracted with the highly infectious disease and what you can do to prevent\nit. Thousands of deaths have been reported in the U.S alone, and hundreds of\nthousands are suffering from the respiratory illness. It is believed that due\nto the lack of widespread testing, the virus outbreak is likely to even bigger.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Worlds health\norganization (WHO), symptoms such as sore throat, cough, and high fever have\nbeen trending up in COVID-19 positive patients. With expanding coronavirus\noutbreak, it becomes a nationwide crisis that it begins to strain our health care\nsystem.

The novel coronavirus spread through\nclose contact with a positive tested patient. When they cough or sneeze, they\nexpelled respiratory droplets into the air that can be inhaled by people who\nare nearby. The respiratory droplets can also directly land in the mouth and\nnose of people who are within 6 feet of each other. It is also believed that\nthe droplets containing the virus can also land on the surfaces like doorknobs,\nwashroom counters, sinks, etc. where the virus can survive for some time. However,\nthere is no evidence so far that can prove if the virus can survive on surfaces\nand objects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, it is important\nto self-isolate if you have a travel history of the infected countries or have\nany doubt of contracting with infected people. You don\u2019t need to have a severe\ncough to be contracted with the novel coronavirus. Currently, there are some\ncases in China COVID-19 patients do not show any symptoms, but still, they are\nsuffering from infectious disorder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking precautions like avoiding\nsocial gatherings, and travel plans are very important at this point where most\nof the countries are fighting with the dangerous virus.
