Abstract
A novel coronavirus was reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) in China on 31 December 2019. The WHO named the disease COVID-19 on
11 February 2020. As of 26 February 2020, the disease has been detected on all continents, except for Antarctica. Daily updates on COVID-19 since early
February 2020 have made headline news worldwide for much of 2020. This poster gives information about spread and prevention of novel coronavirus.
How does COVID-19 spread?
• COVID-19 spreads mainly by droplets produced as a
result of coughing or sneezing of a COVID-19
infected person. This can happen in two ways:
Direct close contact: one can get the infection by
being in close contact with COVID-19 patients (within
one Metre of the infected person), especially if they do
not cover their face when coughing or sneezing.
Indirect contact: the droplets survive on surfaces and
clothes for many days. Therefore, touching any such
infected surface or cloth and then touching one’s mouth,
nose or eyes can transmit the disease.
The incubation period of COVID 19 (time between
getting the infection and showing symptoms) is 1 to 14
days.
Some people with the infection, but without any serious
symptoms can also spread the disease.

Conclusion
It cannot be over-emphasized that a truly effective international preparedness and response coordination mechanism cannot be managed
nationally. Global cooperation, collaboration and investment are necessary to ensure a safer future. This means a multisectoral approach
to managing the problem of global disease that includes governments, industry, public and private financiers, academia, international
organizations and civil society, all of whom have responsibilities for building global public health security. In achieving the highest level
of global public health security possible, it is important that each sector recognizes its global responsibility.
