*UPDATE ON RETURN POLICY ON SANITIZERS & PAPER PRODUCTS

Coronaviruses (CoV) are a family of enveloped virus that was first discovered in the 1960s. They are most commonly found in animals; however, six strains of Coronavirus were known to be capable of transmission from animals to humans. The latest strain is known as the 2019 Novel Coronavirus or 2019-nCov or COVID-ID. It originated in Wuhan, China, last year.

How does the Coronavirus spread?

The virus typically spreads through the air via coughing or sneezing, contact with an infected person or contaminated surfaces, and rarely, via fecal contamination. Most people get infected with a human Coronavirus at some point in their lives. They experience cold-like symptoms for a few days and then recover. However, the 2019-nCoV strain can cause severe symptoms, including fever, cough, and shortness of breath that can lead to pneumonia and possibly death.

The virus can spread quickly from person to person and can lead to widespread outbreaks when infected individuals travel to different countries. At this time, there is no vaccine or specific treatment for the Coronavirus.

Controlling Infection

The CDC provides useful guidance and resources for Coronavirus infection control measures. These should all be implemented when patients are suspected of being infected with a Coronavirus.

Hand hygiene: Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

Respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette: Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw the tissue in the trash. Avoid contact with infected individuals, as possible. Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects with an EPA-registered disinfectant.

For 2019-nCov, the CDC also recommends a mask for confirmed individuals, eye protection for healthcare workers, and implementing both contact and airborne precautions in addition
to standard precautions.

Clean your hands often

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands (Source CDC).
