WHY IS SELF ISOLATION IMPORTANT?

Coronavirus is highly contagious. If people are not

careful and they don’t isolate themselves then they can infect others, causing this disease to spread from one person to another at a very rapid pace. That is why it is of utmost importance to practice social distancing. You are not only taking care of your own self by doing that, but also preventing

ther from being infected. Most healthy people will

not be affected by this disease, but they can very well be carriers. So, please be careful!
