COVID-19, more commonly known as the new Coronavirus has spread rapidly throughout the world these past few months and is known to some as a pandemic. (A pandemic is a disease that has spread all over a whole country or the world). This has caused panic among many countries, and even shut down borders and airlines. For example, Delta Airlines has stopped flying planes to Milan, Italy, which is currently on lock down as thousands of cases of the virus have emerged.  Many people have become paranoid and afraid due to this outbreak, but here are some ways you can stay healthy to avoid catching the virus and prevent it from spreading: 

• Avoid coming in close contact with people who are or have been sick.  
• Avoid sharing drinks and food. 
• Wash your hands often, for at least 20 seconds with soap and water. 
• Clean and disinfect objects you use often and that could come in contact with sickness, such as: your phone, keys, etc.
