Coronavirus is a serious disease that has engulfed the entire world.
Initially, the coronavirus appeared in November in Wuhan. However, it was reported just before the Chinese new year, but it was too late.Scientists recalled that such a case was in 2013 in Saudi Arabia but it quickly went away.
Then after China, all of Asia was infected. After a couple of months, the virus engulfed Europe, but Italy was particularly affected. This country has been quarantined, but that doesn't stop them from having fun. Then the virus came to the territory of the CIS. For security reasons, all places have been quarantined since March 15.
People predict that this pandemic will be until June .
What is a coronavirus?
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses with proven disease-causing properties in relation to humans or animals. A number of coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections in humans ranging from the common cold to more serious conditions such as middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The last of the newly discovered coronaviruses causes COVID-19 disease.
What is the COVID-19?
COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the last of the recently discovered coronaviruses. Prior to the outbreak in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, nothing was known about the new virus or disease.
Who is monitoring the progress of research on COVID-19 transmission pathways and will publish information as it is updated.
Is the virus that causes COVID-19 transmitted through the air?
According to current scientific data, small droplets released from the respiratory tract are a more significant factor of transmission than air. See the answer to the previous question "How does the virus spread?"
Can I get COVID-19 from a person who has no symptoms?
The virus is mainly spread through droplets released from a person's respiratory tract when coughing or sneezing. The risk of infection from a person who has no symptoms is extremely low. On the other hand, many people have very mild symptoms of COVID-19. This is especially true in the early stages of the disease. Thus, there is a risk of transmitting COVID-19 from a person who does not feel ill and has only a mild cough. Who is monitoring the progress of current research on the length of time a sick person remains infected, and will publish information as it is updated.
Can I get COVID-19 through the feces of a sick person?
Apparently, the risk of 2019-nCoV infection through the feces of an infected person is small. According to preliminary studies, the virus can be detected in faeces in some cases, but such a transmission mechanism does not play a leading role in the current outbreak. Who is reviewing the results of ongoing research on COVID-19 transmission and will publish information as it is updated. This risk cannot be completely discounted, and this once again confirms the importance of regularly washing your hands after using the toilet and before eating.
How can I protect myself and prevent the spread of the disease?
Personal protection measures for all
Keep up‑to-date with information about the outbreak, which can be found on the who website, as well as from national and local representatives of public health services. Many countries around the world have reported cases of COVID‑19 infection, and in some cases, outbreaks of the disease. Authorities in China, as well as several other countries where outbreaks have been recorded, have managed to slow the spread of the disease or completely stop it. However, the situation is still unpredictable, so we should keep up to date with the latest developments.
By following simple precautions, you can reduce the risk of infection or spread of COVID-19:
Regularly treat your hands with alcohol-containing products or wash them with soap.
Why is this necessary? If a virus is present on the surface of the hands, then treating the hands with alcohol-containing agent or washing them with soap will kill it.
Keep at least one meter away from people coughing or sneezing.
Why is this necessary? When coughing or sneezing, tiny virus-containing drops are released from the nose or mouth, which the person spreads around them. Being too close to such a person, you risk inhaling these drops and getting infected from them, including a coronavirus infection if the person is sick with COVID-19.
If possible, do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth with your hands.
Why is this necessary? Hands touch many surfaces, and the virus can get on them. Once on the hands, viral particles can get into the eyes, nose or mouth. From these parts of the body, the virus can be introduced into the body and cause disease.
Both you and others should strictly observe the rules of respiratory hygiene. To do this, cover your mouth or nose with the crook of your elbow or a napkin when coughing or sneezing. The used napkin should be discarded immediately.
Why is this necessary? The virus is transmitted through small droplets. By strictly following the rules of respiratory hygiene, you can protect others from viral diseases such as SARS, flu, and COVID-19.
If you don't feel well, stay at home. If you have a fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Follow the instructions of your local health authorities.
