Abstract :
Covid19 is a viral disease (Coronavirus 2019) that was created in December 2019 in Wuhan (China) and quickly
spread worldwide (1). It is a serious challenge for public
sanitation and the health of societies. Like other pandemic
diseases, people want to know what can be done to
prevent and treat the disease. Considering that no specific
control or method is developed to prevent and treat this
disease yet, early diagnosis and prompt treatment are
of crucial importance because not only does the patient
become involved in the disease, but it also significantly
increases the risk of transmitting the infection and its
subsequent expansion (2). So self-care and self-control
are vital to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The people
of communities that are infected with COVID-19 should
be trained about how to protect themselves against risks
and harms of this new unknown virus. Considering that
the universities of medical sciences are responsible for promoting the health of the people in their catchment
area, one of the main tasks of these organizations during
this crisis is to train the people about how to prevent and treat this new virus.
