Coronavirus (COVID-19), it struck during China's busiest travel season and changed how many people celebrated the Chinese New Year. Due to the spread of coronavirus, all the Chinese people had an unforgettable, impressive Chinese New Year. 

Millions who had set out across the country to see family during the holiday had to cut their vacations short or completely change plans after the deadly outbreak of COVID-19 hit the city of Wuhan in Hubei Province. To halt the spread of the infection, Wuhan's railways, ports, and buses were temporarily shut down. Emergency responders have been working nonstop as more people come down with symptoms of the novel coronavirus. Patients are transported to hospitals. Doctors and workers are dressed head-to-toe in protective covering when treating patients. The pressure is high. Many are working long shifts.

It’s hard to express how everyone feels during this special time but here are some sentence we find at internet which are just what we want to say “If there is anything I learned from this disaster, it must be the faith of sticking to our post. Thanks to all the doctors, nurses, reporters and editors who worked as usual till now. Be the one you want others to be. Do everything we can to make the country, the earth a better place.”

You might already find that there are some medical supplies like face mask, N95 mask, goggles and thermometer on ElegoMall. As a famous vape wholesale supplier, why we still provide those medical or healthcare products? It’s all started from a touching action from our Korean customer.

In early February when the situation in China is still not good , our sales manager received a long letter from a Korean customer says they are very sad about this disaster, hope all the best to ElegoMall, and they will stand with us to fight with the virus. They tried their best to find all the medical resource and promise to provide face mask to ElegoMall, in fact, at that time, face mask is really in shortage, so it is definitely pretty hard for them, but they still want to do it for Elegomall. All the staff on Elegomall are deeply touched without any doubt and then comes the first reason why ElegoMall choose to provide some medical items to our customers now.

We really appreciate and always remember all the supports and help from our customers, the situation in China is much better now, but unfortunately, many other counties are affected by Coronavirus, so ElegoMall spared no efforts to find manufacturers that have certifications from government to produce those medical items, hope to provide the effective and quality medical protective equipment to our customers and help them to pull through. We believe that maybe there will be less pain with more help and support from everyone. At the same time, ElegoMall got the medical device license (Class II) from government, which means ElegoMall got the legal sales qualification of those products ,all the customers can order with safe and secure.

To be frank, some of customers told us that they have placed orders for like thousands of dollars from some “sellers”, after the payment those sellers are all out of contact. So that’s our second reason to selling those medical items. We want all the ElegoMall customers to get what they need with best price and best service. No matter you choose ElegoMall or not, please just remember that it is important to choose a seller who got the certification from government!

What is Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) 

A novel coronavirus is a new coronavirus that has not been previously identified. The virus causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is not the same as the coronaviruses that commonly circulate among humans and cause mild illness, like the common cold.

A diagnosis with coronavirus 229E, NL63, OC43, or HKU1 is not the same as a COVID-19 diagnosis. Patients with COVID-19 will be evaluated and cared for differently than patients with common coronavirus diagnosis.

On February 11, 2020 the World Health Organization announced an official name for the disease that is causing the 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak, first identified in Wuhan China. 

How Coronavirus (COVID-19) Spreads

The virus spreads in a similar way to flu or the common cold, in large droplets produced by coughs and sneezes. Germs can live on surfaces for several hours.

Person-to-person spread

The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.

1.Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).

2.Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

Can someone spread the virus without being sick?

1.People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the sickest).

2.Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms; there have been reports of

Spread from contact with contaminated surfaces or objects

It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

How to Prepare to The Coronavirus (COVID-19)

1.Keep your hands clean, and keep your distance from sick people

2.Best to stay at home even you are healthy.

3.Take your temperature regularly, if you are sick, go to the hospital early.

4. Wear mask

5.Stock up on home supplies, medicine and resources

6.No gathering if there is no necessary

7.If necessary wear safety glasses (goggles) to prevent droplets the come with virus land in your eyes

It is worth to mention that there is a saying unless you are already infected, the face masks won’t help. In other words it means if you are healthy then there is no need of face mask.

However please notice there is 14 days long incubation period of this virus which means at those 14 days you do not know if you are health or not and obviously you can not know other one is health or not. Remember how this virus spreads? Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes, these droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. And Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms. So when you are not sure if you or other people you met are health or not, to protect yourself, your family, your friends and colleagues, wear the mask is necessary. Face mask now is definitely best way to prevent droplets. Experience is the best teacher, what Chinese people did at the worst time? Wear the face masks and no gathering, so except for WUHAN, all the other cities in China are getting better in a very short time.

How to Tell Whether Your Mask is Real or Fake

N95 mask

N95 masks can filter 95 percent microorganisms and particles, and are the best at protecting you from airborne viruses just as long as you wear them correctly (watch this video for tips).

Lifespan: Discard after 1-2 days depending on the extent of your use (full day versus half a day, etc.).

Surgical mask

Description: Surgical masks have a three-layer protection design and are a relatively safe choice to prevent bacteria and viral infections. As long as you do not need to make regular visits to the hospital, ordinary medical surgical masks should be sufficient for keeping you safe (doctors wear them, after all).

Lifespan: One-time use.
