Worried about the coronavirus? Let’s see what you can do.
Covi19

The world is going through a big transformation at the moment. With the increasing cases of Novel Coronavirus or Covid-19, it’s the time to be at your best.

The coronavirus first started in Wuhan, a province in China. Although the origin of the virus is still unknown, it has spread across the world like a wildfire. According to the World Health Organization, 189 countries are affected by this virus. It’s a global pandemic now.

The primary symptoms of this virus are very similar to the seasonal flu. You’ll have a dry cough, a sore throat and mild fever. With time, the symptoms get stronger. People with pre-existing medical conditions are at the biggest risk of fatality.

As for target hosts, this virus doesn’t discriminate. It can affect people of all ages and races. The only way to protect yourself is by maintaining personal hygiene and social distancing.

If we look at the data, the virus has primarily made its way out of China due to the uncontrolled travel. So, if you don’t have any urgent needs, avoid traveling at any cost.

How else can you protect yourself? Make sure you practice social distancing strictly. The virus can stay in the air for 1 meter so don’t go close to anyone beyond 1 meter. If someone is coughing or sneezing, stay as far as possible.

Now, the most important part. Wash your hands. Wash your hands as many times as possible. Soap and water are the most effective against coronavirus because soap can destroy the protein layer of the virus and immediately kill. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers with over 70% alcohol can also kill the virus.

Overall, take a shower every day and wash your clothes regularly. The only way to protect yourself is to stay safe and healthy. Don’t go out if you don’t have to. Take some rest. Spend time with your family. Do the social meetings over your phone.

As for the casino industry, it’s not going anywhere. Sure, the casinos might shut for a short period.  It’s really not possible to predict the fate of the industry. If the virus blows over soon, you can play as much as you want again.
