How is it spread?

Covid- 19 can be spread in a handful of ways one way is through contact with infected people, a few other ways it can spread is one, coughing and sneezing as it is an airborne virus, two being in contact with contaminated surfaces and three not keeping clean.

Ways you can protect yourself are wash your hands, try not to touch your face, keep clean and make sure to stay away from others meaning no close contact such as hugging and other stuff like that.

Who does it affect?

Covid-19 mostly affects older people because of their low immune system,  but it isn’t only the elderly that are prone to this new virus.

Others that are likely to get it are young children the reason for this is because at their age their immune system hasn’t yet fully developed so it can’t protect them as well as adults.

Smokers are also prone to Covid-19 because smoking makes your lungs damaged which isn’t great to have if you don’t want Covid-19.

How has Covid-19 affected the Earth?

As many probably know Humans have been very badly affected during this time seeing as we had to go into lockdown because of the new virus, but the Earth on the other hand has been greatly helped.

The reason for this is that since the world was in lockdown factories weren’t running and not as many cars were on the streets and  because of this the pollution and smoke in the air cleared and animals have been able to run around cities without all the people.

So even though Covid-19 has been very bad for us Humans it has really given Earth a chance to get rid of all the pollution that has been killing it for years now.

That’s it I hope after this Information report on Covid-19 you know more about it and can use this information to keep safe I hope you enjoyed and make sure you stay safe until this is all over bye!
