COVID-19 is caused by a virus called a coronavirus that is so small, I can’t see it. This is a drawing of what it looks like through a microscope.

When a person who is sick with COVID-19 coughs or sneezes, droplets leave their body through their nose or mouth and travel through the air. If the droplets get in my nose or mouth, I could get sick.

I can talk, walk and play with my mask on. At first, it may feel different to wear it. The mask may get warm when I breathe or talk, but that’s okay.

When I am at school, I will be excited to see people I know, and I may want to give them a hug. I will remember I shouldn’t touch my friends or touch their things because it might make us sick.
