What is the new Coronavirus or Covid-19?
The new Coronavirus or novel Coronavirus (nCoV) is a new type of Coronavirus that causes a disease called as COVID-19. Before known as COVID-19, the disease was known as the new Coronavirus 2019 or 2019-nCoV.
The new Coronavirus is a new virus, which is similar to the family of viruses that cause SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) and a number of common influenza.
What are the symptoms of the Coronavirus infection?
If someone is infected with the Coronavirus, there will be symptoms within 1-14 days since exposure to the virus. Common symptoms are:
Most people will only experience mild symptoms, but in certain cases, infection can cause pneumonia and breathing difficulty. In a small number of cases, the Coronavirus infection can be fatal. Older people (elderly) and people with health problems such as high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes may experience more serious illness.
As the symptoms are similar to the common cold, a test is needed to determine whether a person is infected with the Coronavirus. Tests are available at referral hospitals for people who experience symptoms with a doctor’s referral.
The keys to prevent the Coronavirus (COVID-19) are clean your hands with soap and running water as often as possible, avoid touching your face, stay away from people who show symptoms (fever, dry cough, fatigue), when coughing or sneezing: cover mouth and nose with elbows folded or tissue that is thrown immediately into a closed trash can.
How does the Coronavirus spread?
The virus can spread directly through the coughing and breathing of infected people who are then inhaled by others.
Viruses can also spread indirectly through objects contaminated with viruses due to sparks or touches of hands contaminated with viruses. Viruses can remain on the surface of objects for several hours to several days, but disinfectant fluids can kill them.
If the hands are contaminated with sparks, the virus can spread through contact between people, so it’s important to wash your hands frequently with soap and running water and for a while, avoid shaking hands or kissing each other on the cheek.
