2. Xpress Care Pentagon City: How Much Do You Know
About Coronavirus?
• On March 11, 2020, life of people on planet Earth was never the
same. The novel Coronavirus or SARS-CoV-2 had invaded the
world. The global pandemic had struck.
• The entire world came to a halt.
• Perhaps never before in the history of humankind had there
been a scenario where cities donned a ghost-like appearance.
• Streets were empty. Schools and shops were shut.
• Airlines were grounded. Tracks were without trains.
• People were locked up in homes.

3. • No hugs, no handshakes.
• No display of facial expressions, as the faces are now covered with
masks.
• This is the new world.
• Slowly, but surely, the world is waking up and smelling the coffee.
We are learning to live with the new reality – the Coronavirus era.
• Xpress care clinic in Pentagon City welcomes patients for
health checkups, consultations, and treatments, but with strict
protocols.
• Wear face mask.
• Keep 6-feet distance from others.
• Stay at home, if suffering from Covid-19 symptoms. Consult doctor
on phone.
• Keep your hands clean.

4. A glimpse at the Coronavirus
• Under the microscope, the virus appears to wear a crown or
‘corona.’ The microbe is a part of a big virus family called
coronaviruses.
• The official name of the virus is Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome Coronvirus 2. In short, SARS-Cov-2.
• Doctors also call it COVID-19, as the virus first struck at Wuhan’s
wet market in China in 2019.
• The virus, as doctors believe, has jumped from animals to
humans. However, now the virus is quickly spreading from
humans to humans.
• According to CDC, the virus can easily and sustainably spread
from one person to another, even more easily than highly
contagious common flu.

5. Spread of Coronavirus
• Coronavirus is a respiratory virus.
• According to doctors, it is present in the droplets of sneezes or
coughs of infected people.
• So, when they sneeze or cough, the virus easily spreads in the air
and can be inhaled by another person.
• The virus can also spread when an infected person opens their
mouth to talk.
• People within 6 feet proximity to the infected person can easily
inhale the virus and get sick.

6. • Even if you don’t inhale, says a doctor, the virus particles can
land on your eyes or mouth or your hands.
• When you touch your eyes or mouth with infected hand, the virus
can easily get inside.
• That’s the reason doctors advise to not touch your face and to
keep washing your hands frequently.
• Always keep a bottle of sanitizer containing more than 60 per
cent of alcohol with you when outdoors. You don’t always get
soap and water outside.

7. The verdict
• A letter signed by 239 scientists reached WHO (World Health
Organization).
• It stated that there was enough evidence that Coronavirus
spreads through air.
• That’s why face masks are so important.
• According to scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder,
people who live in closed spaces with little ventilation are at a
higher risk of contracting Coronavirus, even if they are indoors.
• These scientists, involved in the study of aerosol droplets,
suggest people improve ventilation of their houses.
• So, open up the doors and windows. Let the air cross. Even if
there is a virus, it will flow away and not sit on surfaces indoors.

8. • Coronavirus is a tricky virus.
• It replicates in the upper airways (that’s why it is so contagious)
and also replicates deep inside the lungs (that’s why it is so
deadly).
• Common cold virus replicates only in upper airways, so it is
contagious but not deadly.
• SARS (2002-03 outbreak) and MERS (2012-13 outbreak)
replicated only inside lungs, so it was deadly, but not so
contagious.
• Remember, in case you feel unwell, immediately contact Xpress
care urgent care clinic. There’s no time to lose.
