Source text - English What is COVID-19?
The new coronavirus and its disease (COVID-19) is caused by a new strain of coronavirus first found in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses found in both animals and humans.
There are still some things we don’t know about the virus, but there are many actions we can take to prevent transmission of the virus.
Transmission
A healthy person can get the virus through close contact with an infected person. “Close contact” means physically touching them, touching items they have used or coughed/sneezed on, or spending a lot of time within 1 meter of them while they are sick. The virus spreads through direct contact with droplets of saliva. These fluids come out of the nose or mouth.
Symptoms
Symptoms of COVID-19 normally begin within 2-14 days after exposure, usually around 5 days. For most people, coronavirus is mild and similar to a cold (runny nose, fever, sore throat, cough and shortness of breath). It can be more severe for some persons and can lead to pneumonia or breathing difficulties. If the disease becomes severe, organ failure can occur and this can be life threatening. The disease can lead to death, but this is rare.
Prevention
Wash your hands frequently using soap and water. If soap is not available, alcohol based hand gel may be used to wash away germs. When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth or nose with a tissue or your bent elbow. Try to not sneeze and cough into your hands because then you will spread the virus with your hands.
Go to the doctor if you have a fever, cough or feel that it is difficult to breathe. This is the best way to look after yourself and stop the infection spreading to your family and others. Make sure to first call the doctor and let them know your symptoms so you don’t infect other people. Stay home when you are sick.

Waliwo bingi bye tutamanya ku kawuka kano, naye tuyinza okubaako bye tukola okuziyiza akawuka okusasaana.
Ensasaana
Omuntu omulamu asobola okufuna akawuka okuyita mu kubeera okumpi n'omuntu omulwadde. "Okubeera okumpi" kitegeeza okumukwatako, okukwata ku bintu bye bakozesezza oba bye bakoloddemu oba okunyizamu, oba okubeera nabo okumala ekiseera kinene nga oli mita nga 1 okuva webali nga balwadde. Akawuka kasasaana okuyita mu kukwatagana ne amatondo g'amalusu. Bino ebiri nga amazzi biva mu nyindo oba mu kamwa.

Naaba mu ngaro emirundi mingi ne sabuuni n'amazzi. Sabuuni bw'atabaawo, osobola okukozesa ebizigo (gel) by'omungaro ebikolebwa mu mwenge okutta obuwuka. Bw'oba nga okolola oba oyasimula, bikka ku kamwa oba enyindo n'akatambala oba yasimula mu nkokola nga ogifunyizza. Gezaako obutakolola mu ngaro kubanga olwo oba ojja kusasaanya akawuka mu ngaro zo.
Singa obeera n'omusujja, ekifuba oba nga owulira obuzibu mu kussa, genda olabe omusawo. Eno y'engeri esinga obulungi okwekuuma ate n'okuziyiza akawuka obutakwata abafamire yo n'abalala.
