I was a bit frustrated when I couldn't easily find an online guide to prevent the spread of coronavirus.. so I went ahead and compiled all the info I read and made this Coronavirus Prevention Guide http://stopcorona.org/

Hopefully it gets seen by enough people who will put the tips into practice and slow down the spread of the virus.

The theory is Wuhan Flu (there are actually a large number of "coronaviruses") is contagious before symptoms show, which is why it is so effective at spreading.

Preventing the spread basically comes down to avoiding people. I'm not sure that is great advice. The rest of this site is just things people should be doing anyway like washing their hands.

If you suspect that you were exposed to coronavirus or have it but are suffering from the milder symptoms, you should proactively self quarantine if you live with others, and wear a mask in public to avoid infecting others.

There is no information on the often-called "symptoms". What are the symptoms one should be aware of, one should check for?

Here's the best source I've found so far, it's quite reputable:

Symptoms and severity vary between individuals but most common is fever and coughing. Very similar to cold and flu symptoms.

To learn more please try googling this topic and look for reputable resources such as webmd or similar.

Thanks.

You made a guide homepage in the post I answerded to, which repeatedly mentions "if you have these symptoms". But the symptoms are not mentioned in the guide.

I think for a proper guide you should absolutely list the symptoms of corona virus at the introduction.

I searched in search engines. As far as I could find the corona virus symptoms are similar to pneumonia. The main symptoms are fever, cough and pain in the lungs.

This is not similar to flu symptoms which do not necessarily spread to the lungs.
