If you have watched the news recently, the novel coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China has been spreading over the world recently.

This new virus can cause pneumonia and its fatality is about 3%. It can spread even before symptoms show! To avoid getting infected, please pay attention to your personal health.

Here are some precautions which you can take to prevent from getting infected.

1. Always, always, always wear a mask.

Wearing a mask can lower the risk of breathing in the virus, as well as spreading the virus to your loved ones if you are the patient.

2. Wash hands more often

3. Don’t touch your mouth/eyes with your hands

4. Avoid crowds

Since this virus can spread before symptoms show, it is really hard to know who is infected and who is not in public. Therefore, please try to avoid going to crowded areas, especially those popular among tourists because the coronavirus can be brought by the tourists to your countries.

“But I need to go to work!”

Yes, of course many of you have full-time jobs or are still staying and need to commute to work/school every day.

Always wear a mask when you are in public.

If you don’t want to risk your life going outside, you can also stay home and work on this app.

You are only meeting other users online, talking through video calls, so it is 100% coronavirus-proof.

You don’t even need to wear a mask if you are making the video call at home!

You can also discuss the incident with them and ask them if everything is in place in their countries.

Show that you care about them!
