About COVID-19

Washing hands

Our team of attorneys at Whittel & Melton urge you to stay up to date with the latest news on COVID-19. You can use the following resources to stay informed:

https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019

The new coronavirus can be transmitted in areas with both hot and cold climates. As far as research suggests, the best way to protect yourself against COVID-19 is by frequently washing your hands. By washing your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds, you can eliminate viruses that may be on your hands and avoid infection that could occur by then touching your eyes, mouth, and nose. Using alcohol-based hand rub can also kill viruses that may be on your hands.

Maintain Social Distancing

Social distance

To stop the spread of the novel coronavirus, health officials have instructed the public to practice social distancing. This means staying home, avoiding crowds and not touching others.

The World Health Organization recommends maintaining at least 3 feet distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing. If someone coughs or sneezes, they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which could contain the virus. If you are too close to that person and ingest the droplets, you could contract COVID-19.

You can go to the grocery store, but be smart. Go to the store when you suspect less people will be shopping. Make sure to thoroughly wash fruits and veggies after purchasing, and wash your hands after touching boxes and before eating.

You can still order takeout! There is actually no evidence that the virus can live in food, so at this time, whatever you eat should be safe. With that being said, it is still a good idea to disinfect the takeout containers and wash your hands afterward.

Right now, staying home as much as possible is the best way to lower infection rates, according to the CDC. You can keep in touch with friends and family members over the phone or with video calls. Having visitors in your home is not recommended at this time. Adults over 60 are at a higher risk of serious infection from Covid-19, and you could unknowingly infect them.

If you have to go into work, practice as much social distancing as can. Wash your hands constantly, and if your occupation requires it, wear a face mask.

Symptoms of Coronavirus

It is important to point out that those infected with coronavirus may be sick with the virus for 1 to 14 days before developing symptoms. The most common symptoms of coronavirus are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. It is said that most people, about 80%, recover from the disease without needing any special treatment.

The disease can be serious and even fatal. Older people, and people with underlying medical conditions, such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease may be more vulnerable to catching the virus

Major symptoms of the virus include:

  • Cough
  • Fever
  • Tiredness
  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Headaches
  • Sore Throat
  • Difficulty breathing
