About the Coronavirus (COVID - 19)
Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause
illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle
East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
(SARS-CoV). Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a new strain that was discovered
in 2019 and has not been previously identified in humans.
Coronaviruses
are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. Detailed
investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans
and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are
circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.
Common
signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of
breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause
pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even
death.
Standard
recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing,
covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and
eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness
such as coughing and sneezing.About more: https://www.who.int/health-topics/coronavirus#tab=tab_1
