A novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a disease caused by a new germ or bug.
Germs are tiny organisms that live in our environment and can make us sick if they get in our bodies.
You cannot see germs with your eyes (only under a microscope). They are a bit like chilli. You cannot see chilli on your hands but if you lick your fingers or touch your eyes you will know it is there!

The germ that causes COVID-19 spreads easily from person to person and infects the breathing system, our nose, throat and lungs.
It is passed from person to person through tiny droplets when people cough or sneeze.
These droplets can be breathed in by others – which is why we should try not to get too close to others, and cover our sneezes and coughs with our arm or a tissue. Then wash our hands.

The droplets might land on surfaces, like phones, door handles, tables and hands. If we shake someone’s hand or touch these things and then touch our eyes, mouth or nose, the germ can get inside us.
