How likely is COVID-19 to get?
The risk depends on where you are and, more specifically, whether a COVID-19 outbreak is occurring in that location.
For most people in most places, the risk of getting this disease remains low.
However, we know that there are some places (cities or areas) where it is spreading and where the risk of contracting it is higher, both for the people who live in them and for those who visit them.
Governments and health authorities are acting with determination every time a new case of COVID-19 is detected.
It is important that we all respect the restrictions on travel, travel and the mass concentrations of people applicable to each specific place.
If we cooperate with measures to fight the disease, we will reduce the risk that each of us runs of contracting or spreading it.
As verified in China and in other countries, it is possible to stop COVID-19 outbreaks and end their transmission.
However, the great speed with which new outbreaks can appear forces us to be aware of the situation in the places where we are or where we intend to go.
The WHO publishes daily updates on the situation of COVID-19 in the world, which can be found, in English, on the page https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/situation -reports /.
Should I be concerned about COVID-19?
The symptoms of COVID-19 are generally mild, especially in children and young adults.
However, they can also be serious and force about one in five infected to hospitalize.
Therefore, it is quite normal to worry about the effects that the COVID-19 outbreak can have on us and our loved ones.
This concern should help us adopt protective measures for ourselves, our loved ones and the communities where we live.
The main and most important measure is regular and complete hygiene of the hands and respiratory tract.
Second, it is important to stay informed and follow the advice of local health authorities, such as those related to travel, commuting and events where large numbers of people may be concentrated.
