The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.
- Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
- Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
Can someone spread the virus without being sick
- People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the sickest).
- Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms; there have been reports of this occurring with this new coronavirus, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
Spread from contact with contaminated surfaces or objects
It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
How easily the virus spreads
How easily a virus spreads from person-to-person can vary. Some viruses are highly contagious (spread easily), like measles, while other viruses do not spread as easily. Another factor is whether the spread is sustained, spreading continually without stopping.
The virus that causes COVID-19 seems to be spreading easily and sustainably in the community (“community spread”) in some affected geographic areas.
Community spread means people have been infected with the virus in an area, including some who are not sure how or where they became infected.
'Yoga', 'meditation' and 'social interaction' can be helpful in managing coronavirus (COVID-19) related anxiety and stress. Contamination and transmission of coronavirus on the other hand side can be managed by intake of immunity boosting foods, and maintaining good personal hygiene.
Stress and anxiety are two reasons that weaken the immune system because it leads to the secretion of the fear hormone in the body, which impedes the functioning of the immune system.

Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG, Yes, the current development of the Koronavirus pandemic that causes Covid-19 disease is very stressful for many people. Because it is recommended or legally required to be at home, so many people work at home by contacting contractors, employers etc. remotely via the Internet. Currently, schools and colleges do not operate in many countries. Pupils and students carry out learning remotely in the form of e-learning. Many people stay at home constantly, leaving the house only for a while to make food and / or medicine purchases necessary for their existence, or to order these products online. All this is necessary to limit the spread of the Coronavirus epidemic. However, on the other hand, this situation is very compelling for many people. Parents now help children in remote contact with school and in implementing learning through e-learning. In addition, parents must provide their children with classes at home when they are unable to leave the house. The ability to meet other people is very limited. This situation causes a kind of psychological social alienation of citizens. The threat of continuing epidemic development is still high in many countries. Compared to different influenza variants, the coronavirus causing Covid-19 causes a much higher level of infectivity and mortality. There is no confirmed data regarding the unambiguous, fully explained source of this virus. We do not know how long the pandemic will continue to develop in different countries and on a global scale. There is no vaccine or other effective treatment yet. In view of the above, I believe that the development of a coronavirus pandemic causing Covid-19 disease is very dangerous for the development of civilization. In addition, the development of the Koronavirus pandemic is causing major social changes. It is expected that in the coming months the scale of economic and international globalization will significantly decrease. The scale of using ICTs in the communication of citizens with institutions will increase and the development of e-commerce will accelerate. In addition, it is already certain that the influence of the Coronavirus causing Covid-19 disease will also be very large on the global economy. In 2020, the recession of the global economy is very likely. In 2-3 months the global economic crisis may appear the largest since the 1980s and in some countries the largest since World War II. Therefore, many people are afraid that they will lose their jobs. This causes additional stress because job loss means a decrease in family income and difficulties in maintaining a certain standard of living for the family and individual citizens. Therefore, the period is difficult and hopefully this unusual, difficult period of the Coronavirus pandemic will end quickly.
Have a nice day. Regards.

Keeping a good balance of staying physically active, sports walking etc if possible poutside it is good for your immune system (not too lang/ strong sun radiation of course). And on the other hand, to get (again) used to meditation and any other activity helping to calm and to shift a gear down will help I am sure.
The world witnessed several casualties in Iraq. The injuries were concentrated in Kurdistan, Najaf, Basra, and Baghdad, Karbala, while the lowest injuries were in Mosul, Al-Akhbar, and Salah al-Din. Eating immune food was thought to be effective in preventing the effect, and the areas that made the TB vaccination were less infected with the virus
Exercise is a wonder solution to addressing mental health issues like stress and anxiety
Fear of the virus is because it brings death without our feeling of control over us. The numbers increase with time and the epidemic does not respond much to all forms of prevention and prevention. As for economic fear, it is important, but it is side. We hope that this struggle will end and that life will return in peace. How can a virus adapt to every environment that has entered it and with every change in its genetic codes. I believe humankind will remember this virus for a long time.
The idea of social distancing (which is really physical distancing) can cause some stress and anxiety as man is, by nature, a social animal. Social engagement through virtual mode (e.g. online games with other individuals) can be an alternative to physical engagement and may be effective in alleviating some of that anxiety. These unprecedented times has highlighted some of the good that can come out of social media
