How Does The Coronavirus Explained & What You Should Do Work?

The coronavirus is like a sneaky guest that comes into your body and makes you feel sick.

Imagine you're playing with building blocks, and someone sneezes near you, tiny pieces of the sneeze (called germs) can land on your hands or face. If they get inside your body through your nose or mouth, they start a party inside your lungs. That party is what makes you cough, feel runny-nosed, or tired.

Viruses, like the coronavirus, are super small, so small that you need a special microscope to see them. They're like little robots that know how to copy themselves and take over cells in your body.

When someone has the coronavirus, they might not feel sick at first, it's like when you get a tiny scratch on your hand and don’t notice it right away. But then more germs come in, and the party gets bigger, making you feel worse.

To keep the sneaky guest from coming into your body, wash your hands with soap (like cleaning your toys), wear a mask (like wearing a helmet to protect yourself), and stay away from people who are coughing, it's like staying out of the way of a big splash in the pool!
