If we want to get rid of the Coronavirus as soon as possible, we’re going to have to do our part in the enviroment. These next following Eight steps can keep us clean and healthy.

Washing your hands can boost your health and you’ll have less of a risk of getting COVID-19. Globally, 4/5 humans don’t wash their hands after using the bathroom. The Website, “cdc.gov” states that handwashing ccan help the spread of germs. It specifically states, “Handwashing with soap removes germs from hands. This helps prevent infections because: People frequently touch their eyes, nose, and mouth without even realizing it. Germs can get into the body through the eyes, nose and mouth and make us sick.” Wahsing hands can save lives and keep you safe from diseases and viruses.
2-Avoid Close Contact With People Who Are Sick
If someone you know is sick, you probably shouldn’t hangout with them. If one of your family members is sick, try to stay away from them while they are sick and while they’re recovering. If you get sick, be considerate of the people your around and the enviroment you are in. If you sneeze and cough without covering it up, you can spread germs to others more easily, causing them to get sick as well.
3- When You’re Sick, Stay Home Except For Medical Care
If you have the symptoms of COVID-19, stay home. This can seem really over-protective but if a dealthy virus is getting spread around the world, and thousands of people are dying plus you having symptoms for it, you should stay home. If you need to see the docters, you should go and seek medical help, then go straight home after. If you do this, you can get over the sickness faster.

Epidemics can be a stressful time for Adults and for kids. Espicially since kids respond a lot differently to different levels of stress than adults do. Make sure to say pyshically healthy, but more importantly, stay emotionally healthy. Make sure your not stressed, along with loved ones, friends, and even pets. If we do this together, it will go away faster.
6- Don’t Hang Out With Friends Still
This one is the most hard for teenagers and older kids. But, the reason we don’t go to school anymore, is to stop the spread of the coronavirus. So, hanging out with our friends really defeats the purpose. If we wait for however long our governer and President Trump tell us to stay in isolation, we can get over this virus quicker. But if we keep hanging out with people and getting more people sick, the longer we have to stay in quarantine for.
7- Ask Questions
If you have questions about what is going on, how to prevent it, what to do to help, ask someone for help. There are always people how want you to learn from these experiences and are wllingto help. There are plenty of Youtube videos that health officials have sent out and plenty of good real articles that can help with questions.
8- Clean Up Surfaces Often
Diseases can live on surfaces for a long time. The Coronavirus can live on Fabric from a couple hours, to multiple days. If we aren’t careful enough with cleaning up and wiping down commonly used surfaces, COVID-19 can spread a lot faster. Make sure to clean down objects like Door Knobs, Countertops, Devices, Bathrooms, and many other surfaces and objects.
