What is a coronavirus?
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans.
In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the
common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most recently discovered coronavirus causes
coronavirus disease COVID-19.
How Infectious is COVID-19
Scientists use a measure called “basic reproduction number” to measure how a disease spreads through
a population also known as R0. This number indicated how many people each infected person will infect
on average. R0 measures how infectious any disease is and helps governments and health organisations\ in
formulating the strategy to tackle the disease.
If R0 is less than 1 then the disease spread will eventually fizzle out. If it is greater than one then,
one infected person on average can infect one other person and so on the chain is formed. Currently, this
number R0 for COVID-19 is estimated at about 2.2, which implies that a single infected person will infect
about 2.2 others, on average.coronavirus disease COVID.
Protecting yourself and others from the spread COVID-19
Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.
Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and others.If you are too close, you can breathe
in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person has the disease.
Avoid going to crowded places.
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth.Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth.
From there, the virus can enter your body and infect you.
Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene.
This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze.
Then dispose of the used tissue immediately and wash your hands. By following good respiratory hygiene, you
protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.
Stay home and self-isolate even with minor symptoms such as cough, headache, mild fever, until you recover.
Have someone bring you supplies. If you need to leave your house, wear a mask to avoid infecting others.
If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention, but call by telephone in advance
if possible and follow the directions of your local health authority.Calling in advance will allow your health
care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also protect you and help prevent
spread of viruses and other infections.
Keep up to date on the latest information from trusted sources, such as WHO or your local and national
health authorities.
