The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is a new virus linked to the same family of viruses as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and some types of common cold.

?

The virus is transmitted through direct contact, respiratory droplets like coughing and sneezing, and touching surfaces contaminated with the virus. It is not yet known how long the virus survives on surfaces, but simple disinfectants can kill it.



Symptoms can include fever, cough and shortness of breath. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia or breathing difficulties. More rarely, the disease can be fatal.

?

Here are five precautions you and your family can take to avoid infection:

1. Wash your hands frequently using soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub

2. Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing

3. Avoid close contact with anyone who has cold or flu-like symptoms

4. Go to the doctor if you have a fever, cough or feel that it is difficult to breathe

5. Avoid direct unprotected contact with live animals and surfaces in contact with animals.
