What is Coronavirus?

According to WHO,

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that range from the common cold to MERS coronavirus, which is Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus and SARs, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus. 

Where do coronaviruses come from? 

Corona viruses are circulating in animals and some of these coronaviruses have the capability of transmitting between animals and humans. We call that a spillover event.

What is covid 19?

COVID-19 is the name of disease  caused by corona virus.

On 11 February the World Health Organization announced that the official name would be covid-19, a shortened version of coronavirus disease 2019. The WHO refers to the specific virus that causes this disease as the covid-19 virus.

Difference between Corona and Covid-19

Some people things that corona and covid-19 is same but that’s not true. Corona is the name of virus and Covid-19 is the name of disease caused by Coronavirus.

How can I help protect myself from a coronavirus? 

 The coronaviruses typically cause respiratory symptoms. So we recommend basic hand hygiene, such as washing your hands with soap and water and respiratory hygiene, such as when you sneeze, sneezing into your elbow. 

Ways to protect yourself against a potential animal source would be to avoid unnecessary unprotected contact with live animals and to make sure that you wash your hands thoroughly after contact with animals and also to make sure your meat is cooked thoroughly before consuming.

Is there treatment? 

 There are no specific treatments for coronaviruses, but symptoms can be treated. 

Corona symptoms,

1. Fever
2. Cough
3. Shortness of breath
4. Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
5. Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
6. New confusion or inability to arouse
7. Bluish lips or face

In the UK, the National Health Service (NHS) has identified the symptoms as experiencing either:

1. A high temperature - you feel hot to touch on your chest or back
2. A new continuous cough - this means you’ve started coughing repeatedly

When should I go to the doctor?

In the UK, the NHS advice is now that anyone with symptoms should stay at home for at least 7 days. If you live with other people, they should stay at home for at least 14 days, to avoid spreading the infection outside the home. This applies to everyone, regardless of whether they have travelled abroad.
