10. Take this virus seriously
COVID-19 is a serious virus that can cause many health issues beyond death. Many people who have recovered from Coronavirus, still have symptoms months later. As a novel (new) virus, scientists and doctors are still learning a lot about the long term health effects it may have on the body, and the best way to mitigate it is to keep your immune system strong, wear a mask, and stay socially distanced when outside!
