Cicero residents are trying to stay clean and prevent themselves and their families from getting the coronavirus. 

The people all around the world have all started to freak out because of a virus that came from China. The virus started slowly but then ended up spreading all over the world. Some facts that people are saying is that the coronavirus causes many symptoms, such as high fevers and hallucinations. The people are told to wash hands and use a mask. Gloves are helpful from touching something infected.  

When asked people about the coronavirus about 99.9% are afraid to catch it. Many people don’t survive from it, it’s a 50/50 chance. It has affected mostly the elderly or people that suffer from an ongoing sickness. The virus has killed more people than any other virus. The safest way to stay clean and simply not catch the virus is to stay at home and practice social distancing.  

When we asked people about how they felt and ways they should stay clean they said. 

“We try to wash our hands frequently and we also have 5 hand sanitizer bottles around the house,” said Junior Jackie Martinez. 

Even a good friend had gotten it. 

“I put myself into quarantine and isolated myself from everyone,” said Junior Velazquez. 

Also, people had some thoughts if you contract the virus and what to do. 

“If people get in contact with the virus, all of their stuff should get disinfected and keep a distance,” said Senior Layla Jackson. 

With all that being said, everyone should stay home, be precautious, and keep their distance. We will get through this hard time.
