WHAT IS CORONAVIRUS?
Coronavirus is a virus that has appeared in China. It has spread to many countries in Europe and around the world. COVID-19 is the scientific name for coronavirus.
People infected with Coronavirus have fever, cough, breathe hard.
If you feel that way, it doesn't necessarily mean you have Coronavirus. Maybe it's a common flu.
But it is important to notify your GP. And call 112.

HOW TO PROTECT OURSELVES?
It is very important to wash our hands thoroughly and disinfect them. We need to disinfect the surfaces in the house.
It is very important not to touch the face, eyes, nose, mouth.

FROM WHERE WE INFORM OURSELVES?
There's a lot of fake news circulating on the Internet. It is very important that we inform ourselves from official sources.
We recommend that you go to www.stirioficiale.ro to read the latest news.
www.stirioficiale.ro is a project carried out pro-bono by Code4Romania volunteers, in partnership with the Romanian Government through the Authority for the Digitalization of Romania and the Department for Emergency Situations.

WHAT TO DO IF WE HAVE SYMPTOMS?
First thing – we need to notify your GP. We can call or send a text message on your phone or message via WhatsApp. The doctor will tell us what to do. If we feel sick, if we have fever, cough and breathe hard, we can call 113. In order to be able to call 113, we must first register on the www.112.ro.
We can use the "Voices for hands" app and an interpreter will help us.
The project "Voices for Hands: Remote Video Interpretation" is implemented by ANSR - Bucharest Branch and funded by Orange Fundation, under the "World through Color and Sound" programme, 2017 edition.

WHY USE A MASK?
The protection mask protects those around us, in case we have flue or cold symptoms, because it prevents the spreading of the virus through the air. The protection mask must fully cover the nose and the mouth of the person wearing it.
We know that if we read lips, it is impossible to understand the person wearing it. But the mask must be worn for our protection and the protection of those around us.
