7. HOW THE CORONA VIRUS
SPREADS
• Coronavirus, also known as
Covid-19, is mostly spread
through contact with infected
persons. When infected people
cough or sneeze or let out any
respiratory droplets for that
matter, the virus is released into
the air and may be transferred
to other people within 5 or 6
feet of the carrier.

9. How COVID-19 Spreads
• There is much to learn about
the newly emerged COVID-19,
including how and how easily it
spreads. Based on what is
currently known about COVID-
19 and what is known about
other corona viruses, spread is
thought to occur mostly from
person-to-person via
respiratory droplets among
close contacts.
15-03-2020 9Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ COVID 2019

10. Close contact can occur while
caring for a patient, including:
• Being within approximately 6
feet (2 meters) of a patient with
COVID-19 for a prolonged
period of time. having direct
contact with infectious
secretions from a patient with
COVID-19. Infectious secretions
may include sputum, serum,
blood, and respiratory droplets.
15-03-2020 10Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ COVID 2019

11. PPE saves the Health care
workers
•If close contact
occurs while not
wearing all
recommended PPE,
healthcare
personnel may be at
risk of infection
15-03-2020 11Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ COVID 2019

12. The articles and material in use with patients are
infective
•Also, when one touches a
surface that infected
persons have come in
contact with within 24
hours, one is likely to
contact the virus. So, since
you might not know who
has the disease and who
does not,
15-03-2020 12Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ COVID 2019

13. Mask continues to be Minimal
essentail Need
Its best to be careful
about how you relate
with people. Nose
masks might help to
prevent you from
contacting the virus
via coughs and
sneezes,
15-03-2020 13Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ COVID 2019

14. According to the WHO and the advisory by the Ministry of Health and
Family Welfare (MoHFW), following these protective and preventive
measures is super important now:
• Wash your hands regularly,
once you’re back home,
before you cook, and
especially after you cough
or sneeze. While hand
sanitizers will help kill some
viruses, doctors recommend
washing hands as the most
effective.
