The coronavirus spreads in different ways* but scientists have determined that contact&nbsp; is a primary cause. Contact, in this case, can be defined as direct, indirect and droplet borne. To prevent the spread of harmful organisms, paying attention to social distancing guidelines is paramount.&nbsp; These guidelines are straightforward: keep a distance of at least one meter between individuals, and avoid contact such as shaking hands or kissing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*For detailed information, visit the page of<a href=\"https:\/\/covid19bilgi.saglik.gov.tr\/tr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"> Ministry of Health<\/a>. in Turkish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.
