This essay discusses the risk factors of COVID19 and the prevention of COVID 19.COVID19 is as a result of a new coronavirus strain called SARS-CoV-2. The disease originated from Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and has since spread around the world. On 11 March, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared it a global pandemic. The transmission of COVID-19 is mainly through contact with respiratory droplets expelled by someone who is coughing or has other symptoms such as fever or tiredness. Thus, people should maintain one meter away from an infected person. Risk factors of COVID19 include people with underlying medical conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes and older individuals. The most common symptoms are a dry cough, tiredness, and high temperature. Fortunately, there are measures and approaches for the prevention of COVID19.

THE TRANSMISSION AND RISK FACTORS OF COVID19
The risk factors of COVID19 include older populations and people with underlying health problems like high blood pressure, heart problems, cancer, lung disease, or diabetes. There are currently no links between people living with HIV and an increased risk of acquiring COVID19. The transmission of COVID19 is mainly through contact with respiratory droplets of a person currently infected with the virus. These droplets come from the nose or mouth of an infected person and may land on surfaces and objects around them. Also, the virus may spread when an infected person sneezes, coughs or exhales, and people around them breathe in these micro-droplets. Therefore, people must maintain one meter away from someone with the virus. However, anyone can catch COVID19 and become seriously ill. Thus, everyone needs to take the necessary steps in the prevention of COVID19.

TREATMENT MEASURES AND PREVENTION OF COVID 19
The prevention of COVID19 involves several approaches. They include regularly and thoroughly cleaning one’s hands with an alcohol-based sanitizer or with soap and water. Secondly, maintaining at least a 1-meter distance from others. This approach is vital in preventing the transmission of COVID19. Thirdly, avoiding going to crowded places and touching eyes, nose, and mouth. Fourthly, covering one’s cough with the bend of elbow or tissue, and discarding the latter immediately. Fifthly, self- isolating even with minor symptoms such as cough and headache until recovery. Lastly, following good oral hygiene and wearing a mask. Unfortunately, risk factors of COVID19 are unavoidable and uncontrollable factors. In conclusion, COVID19 is an infectious virus with currently no cure. Therefore prevention of COVID19 is primary in reducing the transmission to other people.
