Q. What is Coronavirus ?
Ans. It is a virus or group of viruses which causes diseases in humans or animals. It causes respiratory problems ranging from normal cold to serious diseases such as SARS which stands for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, MERS which stands for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, COVID-19.
Covid-19 is one of the serious infectious diseases caused by coronavirus. This virus originated in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and now has spread in many parts of the world.
Symptoms of Covid-19 :-
- Fever
- Common cold
- Dry cough
- Fatigue
- Aches
- Diarrhea
It is a contagious disease and hence can be transmitted if you come in contact of people who have it already. It can spread from one person to the other through droplets from mouth or nose. On coughing or sneezing, the droplets land on the objects or surfaces nearby, so touching them is risky as well. If a person touch such objects and then touch his mouth, eyes, nose, virus can easily get into the body.
Precautions to be taken :-
- Avoid public places. Chances of spreading the virus is high in public places.
- In case you need to travel, always wear masks and gloves.
- Don't touch your face often.
- Wash your hands thoroughly (palm, back of hands, between fingers, under the nails) with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Maintain a good distance from the person who is coughing or sneezing.
Kindly consult a doctor, if any of such symptoms are seen in you.
Stay healthy!
