INFORMATION:
Symptoms of Covid-19: the disease appears as a simple flu with fever, cough, sneezing discharge, nose (stuffy nose), sore throat. Sometimes there is little or no symptom (said to be symptomatic but nonetheless contagious).

ansmission between humans occurs through respiratory micro-droplets expelled through the nose or mouth, during sneezing or coughing. You can also get the virus by touching objects or surfaces around the person who is already infected and then putting your hands in your eyes, nose, or mouth. It is also possible to get Covid-19 by inhaling micro-droplets from a sick person who has just coughed or sneezed nearby, about three feet at most.

The incubation period, the time between the introduction of the virus into the body and the onset of the first symptoms, varies on average between 5 and 14 days. In case of respiratory symptoms, following a stay in a country affected by the pandemic or contact with a person coming from an infected country, you must go to the nearest health center or call 116 or 43 43 33 33 in case of emergency or for any information relating to Covid-19.
