SITUATION IN FOCUS: Laboratory Network and Detection.

On 9 January 2020, WHO published interim laboratory guidance for detection of the novel coronavirus. This

guidance is continually updated as more data becomes available and includes advice on sample collection, diagnostic

testing, and pathogen characterization. Specific interim guidance on biosafety in the laboratory has also been

published. An update to the guidance for the international shipment of specimens will follow soon. WHO is utilizing

RECOMMENDATIONS AND ADVICE FOR THE PUBLIC.

If you are not in an area where COVID-19 is spreading, or if you have not travelled from one of those areas or have

not been in close contact with someone who has and is feeling unwell, your chances of getting it are currently low.

However, it’s understandable that you may feel stressed and anxious about the situation. It’s a good idea to get the

facts to help you accurately determine your risks so that you can take reasonable precautions. (See Frequently Asked

Questions) Your healthcare provider, your national public health authority and your employer are all potential

sources of accurate information on COVID-19 and whether it is in your area. It is important to be informed of the

situation where you live and take appropriate measures to protect yourself. (See Protection measures for

everyone).

If you are in an area where there is an outbreak of COVID-19 you need to take the risk of infection seriously. Follow

the advice issued by national and local health authorities. Although for most people COVID-19 causes only mild

illness, it can make some people very ill. More rarely, the disease can be fatal. Older people, and those with pre-

existing medical conditions (such as high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes) appear to be more vulnerable.

Answer 2

Answer:

Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.

Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.

Common signs of infection include respiratory

symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.

Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.
