ANSWERS:

1.Both. The virus is transmitted through direct contact with respiratory droplets of an infected person (through coughing and sneezing), and by touching surfaces contaminated with the virus and then touching your mouth, nose, eyes.

2.No. There is no evidence to date that pets such as cats and dogs can spread the virus that causes COVID-19.

3.All of them. And we should all help limit the spread of the disease by seeking medical care early if we have symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath). We should stay at home while we have symptoms, avoiding going to public places to prevent spreading to others. Cough or sneeze into our elbow or tissue, dispose of used tissues immediately and wash your hands right after.

4. Everyone. People of all ages can be infected by the virus and should take precautions to protect themselves, washing hands often with soap and water. Older people, and anyone with pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease among others) appear to be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with the virus.

6. Hand sanitizer or alcohol rub to clean surfaces should contain at least 60% alcohol to be effective.

6. No. There are not yet any vaccines or specific medicines that can prevent or cure the virus. Scientists are working on developing a vaccine. However, it’s important to remember that many of the symptoms of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) can be treated and getting early care from a healthcare provider can improve outcomes. Most patients recover with supportive care.
