Coronavirus is the new epidemic that has taken\nalmost the whole world into its grasp. With a set of new cases every passing\nday, the threat is unavoidable. Though the virus species is not new to science,\nthe prevailing infection is a new addition to the corona virus family. People have come across a plethora\nof information in regard to the spread, prevention, and cure of the virus but\nnot all of it is credible.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the key coronavirus facts and coronavirus myths to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. There is a vaccine available to cure Covid-19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a Myth!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, as the first case was reported for\ncoronavirus, scientists across the world started working on developing a\npreventive and curing vaccine for this disease, no success has been registered\nyet. The only assured way of blocking the spread of this disease is to wash\nyour hands regularly and stay safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Coronavirus<\/strong> infection can be prevented by washing\nhands<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a fact!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only sure-fire way to prevent yourself from\ngetting infected with this virus is to regularly wash your hands with soap and\nwater or with an alcohol-based rub. Do not touch your face, eyes, and nose if\nyou think you might have touched an infected person or surface. Maintain a\ndistance from people of about 2 meters, especially from those who are coughing,\nsneezing or are generally sick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel like sneezing, do not use your\nhands. Either sneeze in a disposable napkin or use your elbow crook to sneeze. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Wearing surgical masks can prevent\nyou from catching the virus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a myth!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no scientific proof of the claim that\na mask can prevent you from catching Covid-19. \nHowever, they can help prevent the spreading of infection from an\ninfected person if he or she uses the mask. This will block any droplets from\ntheir mouth or nose to spread to other surfaces when they cough or sneeze. As a\ngeneral practice, it is good to wear masks while attending doubtful social\ngatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
