Coronaviruses are a group of viruses. A few coronaviruses only affect animals, while others can affect humans. The coronavirus symptoms range from a mild cold to flu-like symptoms to moderate and severe upper-respiratory infections.
Did you know? The SARS epidemic (severe acute respiratory syndrome) was caused by coronavirus as well. Some patients suffer from diarrhoea, as coronavirus is known to affect the gut. The current pandemic is caused by COVID-19.
COVID-19 is mainly transmitted by coming in contact with respiratory droplets rather than through the air.
Coronavirus can be tested with a nasal swab or a blood test.
Currently, the Coronavirus testing is undertaken by select government institutions including the AIIMS and National Institute of Virology, Pune.
Currently, there is no vaccine or specific treatment for COVID-19. Medical care can help to relieve the symptoms.
Yes. Everyone should wear a mask before leaving their place.
WHO especially recommends the use of masks for people who have symptoms of COVID-19 and for those caring for individuals who have symptoms, such as cough and fever. The use of masks is crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone (at home or in a health care facility). People who are infected with COVID 19 or have flu-like symptoms should wear a mask so that they do not spread the infection.
