As we learn to live with COVID-19 people may wish to consider the WHO Three C’s of and about how the virus spreads through Close Contact, in Crowded Places, and in Confined Spaces – the more these three overlink the greater the chance of virus spread. There is also a fourth C – less talked about, that of Caring and being thoughtful to not spread disease to others.
