Coronavirus is a new respiratory virus that has not been previously identified in humans. United Nations, your country Public health officials and partners are working hard to identify the source of the virus. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses, some causing illness in people and others that circulate among animals, including
camels, cats and bats.
Common signs of CoronaVirus can include:- fever, cough and shortness of breath. When it is severe, the infection can cause pneumonia or breathing difficulties. In some cases the disease can be fatal.
According to World Health Organization, Coronavirus originally emerged from an animal source but now seems to be spreading from person-to-person. People can catch the virus if they come in contact with droplets an infected person coughs and sneezes out. They can also catch it by touching surfaces where these droplets have fallen.
Preventive measures are:-Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently using soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub .Keep at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing . Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Then your hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you sick. Cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue when coughing or sneezing. Dispose of used tissue immediately where others won't touch them. Seek medical care early if you or your child has a fever, cough or difficulty in breathing.
The use of a medical mask is advised if you have respiratory symptoms (coughing or sneezing) to protect others. If you don’t have any symptoms, then there is no need to wear a mask. Remember to dispose used masks properly to avoid any increased risk of transmitting the virus.
Thank you!!
