COVID 19 - Resources for Information

Ever since Covid 19 (an abbreviation of Coronavirus Disease 2019) has been declared a pandemic. there are many questions - what are the preventive steps to take, what exactly happens if one is infected, at what stage should one get worried, what does one need to do if one shows signs, what does one do in self-isolation/ quarantine etc.

I typed COVID 19 into good pal Google and I got the Indian government site upfront

https://www.mygov.in/covid-19

This site has exhaustive information about what to do, how, myths, symptoms, travel advisory etc

Then, the WHO site

https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/events-as-they-happen


Then, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html

On prevention
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/prevention.html

I found the CDC site very easy to read and navigate with clear and precise information on many aspects of prevention and care etc. I guess, these sites should give enough information one needs.
