#Covid19 |
KNOW ABOUT COVID19 IN SHORT.
1| Corona virus could also be a family of viruses,
which may cause the cold or more severe diseases like SARS
(severe acute respiratory syndrome),
MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome)
2| The new corona virus disease that first appeared in late 2019 in Wuhan, China, called COVID-19

3| Symptoms may take up to 14 days to seem after exposure to the
virus.
In the event you're infected, it's going to take as many as 14 days to exhibit symptoms, although the WHO says the time period (between infection and showing any symptoms) most ordinarily happens within five days.
4| Drinking water prevents dehydration but won't prevent anyone
from catching the new corona virus.
Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious-diseases expert at Vanderbilt University, said the claims are incorrect. While medical professionals typically recommend maintaining fluid intake, Schaffner said drinking more water won't keep anyone from catching the virus. We always caution anyone healthy and other people who are sick to stay up fluid intake and keep mucus membranes moist,” he said. “It causes you to feel better; there's no clear indication that it directly protects you against complications.”
5| These viruses aren't known to spread through ventilation
systems or through water.
Corona viruses are most ordinarily spread from an infected person through: respiratory droplets once you cough or sneeze close personal contact, like touching or shaking hands
touching something with the virus thereon , then touching your eyes, nose or mouth before washing your hands.
6| The Virus Spreads in 3 Ways.
it’s not 100% clear yet just how it transmits from person to person but experts have a reasonably good idea supported what they’re seeing thus far and the way past outbreaks of comparable corona viruses have worked.
It appears the new virus, SARS-CoV-2, spreads mainly through respiratory transmission, consistent with the CDC. That includes:
1. Transmission between people in close contact (about 6 feet from one another or closer)
2. Transmission from respiratory droplets produced when an
individual with the virus sneezes or coughs, which may then land within the noses or mouths of others nearby or even even be inhaled into someone else’s lungs
3. Possible transmission from touching a surface or object with the virus thereon then touching your mouth, nose, or possibly eyes (however, this isn’t the first way the CDC thinks the virus is transmitted)
7| COVID-19 could also be a contagion that causes mild to severe
respiratory symptoms with fever, cough, and shortness of
breath.
8| The simplest thanks to prevent the spread of infections is to:
# wash your hands often with soap and water for a minimum of
20 seconds
# Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth, especially with unwashed hands.
# Avoid close contact with people that are sick and stay home if you're sick to avoid spreading illness to others.
