COVID-19 Contagion in South Korea

Five people already died of COVID-19 in South Korea. There are more than 700 confirmed cases as of yesterday. My daughter and I have been shunning away from crowded places for a week now. The government has postponed the resume of classes from kindergarten to Highschool. As a mom and a wife, it is hard to steer clear of the paranoia that we might contract the virus once we step out of our house. My husband has been working even though some establishments in the area where the outbreak started are closed. Though his job does not require him to be in close contact with people, I still worry knowing that COVID-19 could also be an airborne viral disease. I pray and hope that this would stop soon. Keep safe, everyone.

Oh sorry to hear this, even here we are not allowed not to wear mask in public places.

It's nice to hear from you. How are you? The prices of facemasks here are also soaring. And, the hand sanitizers are running out of stock.

@JustBhem Have you found a kidney donor? If that's so, I am happy for you. I am sure everything will be fine. I pray that you'll recover soon. God bless.

Please be safe. The virus is spreading very quickly and each one of us individually should follow the instructions given by the world health organization.

since your husband still has to keep working, the most you can do is make sure he keeps safe and healthy - wear a mask, always sanitize, eat and sleep well, take vitamins, etc.

I am really praying for that. But, I think it'll take time.
