Read the passage given below.
1. Corona viruses are a large family of viruses, including some that cause the
common cold to some that cause major diseases such as the Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome
(MERS). They were discovered in the 1960s. The name "corona virus" is
derived from the Latin corona, meaning crown or wreath. The name refers to
the characteristic appearance of the infective form of the virus, which is
reminiscent of a crown or a solar corona. The corona virus outbreak came to
light when on December 31, 2019, China informed the World Health
Organization (WHO) of a cluster of cases of pneumonia of an unknown cause
in Wuhan City in Hubei province.
2. On January 9, 2020, the WHO issued a statement saying Chinese researchers
have made “preliminary determination” of the virus as a novel corona virus.
This type of corona virus is often called 2019-nCoV, novel corona virus, or
COVID-19. It is believed that the virus was transmitted from animals to
humans. Some of the first cases were diagnosed in people who had visited a
market selling live seafood and animals. Unfortunately, when viruses are
transmitted from animals to people, it can take scientists a lot of time before
they can develop a vaccine or medicines to cure it.Some of the symptoms of the corona virus are fever, cough, runny nose, sore
throat, headache, and trouble breathing.
3. The virus can be more serious in some people, especially if they are sick or have
health problems. Some early reports reveal that children seem to be getting
corona virus at much lower rates than adults. Even if they get infected, the
symptoms are milder. However, most people who get severely infected are those
with a weak immune system, like the elderly. Corona virus may be life-
threatening for these people. They may develop more serious respiratory tract
illnesses that may be fatal.
4. The virus appears to spread mainly from person to person. The transmission
occurs when someone comes into contact with an infected person. The spread
may also be caused by coming into contact with something an infected person
has touched and then touching our mouth, nose or eyes. There is no specific
vaccine or medication to cure the disease, but generally, symptoms will go away
on their own. However, experts recommend seeking medical care early if
symptoms feel worse than a standard cold.
5. Doctors can relieve symptoms by prescribing pain or fever medication. As far as
antibiotics are concerned, they are useless to treat corona virus. A set of
preventive measures are usually followed in case someone gets infected. This
includes keeping infected people in quarantine for a certain period, generally
fourteen days.
