How did the Corona virus get it’s name? COVID-19?
Corona is Spanish for “crown”. The virons give off the appearance of a crown under an electron microscope. The World Health Organization (WHO) later gave the virus its official name. “CO” stands for corona. “VI” is for virus. And “D” means disease. The “19” is for 2019, the year the disease first appeared in China.

The corona virus spreads through coughing, sneezing into the air, or by touching or shaking hands, or by touching your nose, mouth and eyes with hands that are unwashed. If you are experiencing a cough, shortness of breath, or a fever, you should contact your primary physician.

- Hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol
- Clean high-traffic areas that get touched frequently, such as kitchen counters and bathroom faucets, three times a day with a product that kills viruses
- Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces daily in household common areas (e.g. tables, hard-backed chairs, doorknobs, light switches, remotes, handles, desks, toilets, sinks)
Essential Vitamins that enhance your immune system
- Vitamin C (found in oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, strawberries, bell peppers, spinach, kale and broccoli)
