WHAT IS COVID-19?
Coronaviruses are a large family of RNA-containing viruses capable of infecting humans and some animals. The specific name that these viruses received is related to their structure — the spiked appendages of the virus resemble the solar corona. To date, about 40 species of coronaviruses are known, united in two subfamilies.

HOW IS CORONAVIRUS TRANSMITTED?
The disease is transmitted by airborne droplets (coughing and sneezing); by contact (through touching).The virus can be transmitted through subway handrails, door handles and other surfaces.

THE INFLUENCE OF COVID-19 ON THE PSYCHE

We can say that the impact of the virus on the human psyche begins much earlier than it enters the body.

The problem of mental health after the disease is very acute and has not yet been fully studied.According to a study by Italian doctors published in the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity, 55% of patients who underwent covid had some kind of mental problems.
