WHAT IS OUR GAME?

Preventative Space is a game that is aimed to help people understand the importance of preventative actions during a time of great risk to infections/diseases. We aim to educate people how little things in their life can contribute to prevention of diseases and what count as necessary precautions people might want to take during time of infection, especially in this time of risk to CoronaVirus. The three fictional diseases the user can play through are: Colapo, Tanessla, and Divico. During pandemic times, such as CoronaVirus, SARS, or Pollio, it is important to spread awareness of prevention in order to help protect yourself and others.

CORONAVIRUS
(According to cdc.gov)

HOW IT SPREADS: Person-to-Person contact (Through respitory droplets when coughing or sneezing)!

SYMPTOMS: Fever, cough, shortness of breath (may show up after 2-14 days)

HOW TO PREVENT IT:
"There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:

- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
- Follow CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask.
- CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
- Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others. The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility).
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
- If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty."
