COVID-19 FAQ for exchange students
The symptoms of coronavirus are similar to the symptoms of flu: a high temperature, a cough, feeling short of breath and other respiratory disorders, muscle pain and fatigue. More complicated cases of coronavirus may lead to pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney insufficiency or death.
Preventive measures
It is important to remember, that washing hands is the most important preventive measure against contracting virus. Hands should be washed frequently and thoroughly with water and soap for at least 20 seconds. In case there is no water and soap, use alcohol-based hand sanitiser containing at least 60% of alcohol. Also avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
