Corona Virus
وتوصي منظمة الصحة العالمية بالتالي:
غسل اليدين جيدا، فبإمكان الصابون قتل الفيروسات.
تغطية الفم والأنف عند العطس أو السعال وغسل اليدين بعدها لمنع انتشار الفيروس.
تجنب لمس العينين والأنف والفم حال ملامسة اليد لسطح يُرجح وجود الفيروس عليه، إذ يمكن أن ينتقل الفيروس إلى الجسم بهذه الطريقة.
لا تقترب من المصابين بالسعال أو العطس أو الحمى، إذ يمكن أن ينشروا جسيمات صغيرة تحتوى على الفيروس في الهواء. ويُفضل الابتعاد عنهم لمسافة متر واحد.
What is a virus?
A virus is a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism. Viruses can infect all types of life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea.[1] Resource: Wikipedia.
What are the ways a virus can spread?
a virus can spread by direct physical contact with someone who has a cold, or by touching a surface contaminated with their germs -- like a computer keyboard, doorknob or spoon --- and then touching your nose or mouth. You can also catch it from infected droplets in the air released by a sneeze or a cough.

Is There a Natural Way to Treat the Flu?
Looking for a natural flu treatment?
Some remedies can ease your symptoms, but there’s no natural cure. Nor is there a natural way to prevent flu. The only way to hold it off -- or at least significantly lower the risk -- is immunization with a flu vaccine and frequent handwashing. Resource: WebMed
What is cold?
It's an illness caused by a tiny, infectious thing called a virus.
Other viruses that can cause colds include coronavirus, respiratory syncytial virus, influenza and parainfluenza.
You can catch it from another person who is infected with the virus. This can happen by direct physical contact with someone who has a cold, or by touching a surface contaminated with their germs -- like a computer keyboard, doorknob or spoon --- and then touching your nose or mouth. You can also catch it from infected droplets in the air released by a sneeze or a cough.
What is flu?
Influenza, commonly known as the "flu," is an extremely contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza A or B viruses. Flu appears most frequently in winter and early spring. The flu virus attacks the body by spreading through the upper and/or lower respiratory tract.
What's the difference between a cold and flu?
The common cold and flu are both contagious viral infections of the respiratory tract. Although the symptoms can be similar, flu is much worse. A cold may drag you down a bit, but the flu can make you shudder at the very thought of getting out of bed.
Congestion, sore throat, and sneezing are common with colds. Both cold and flu may bring coughing (less common), headache, and chest discomfort. With the flu, though, you are likely to run a high fever for several days and have body aches, fatigue, and weakness. Symptoms of the flu also tend to come on abruptly. Usually, complications from colds are relatively minor, but a case of flu can lead to a life-threatening illness such as pneumonia.
