Answer:

  • CORONAVIRUS, COVID-19
  • Coronaviruses, like the new COVID-19 outbreak that began in China, cause mild to severe respiratory illness including death. COVID-19 has since spread worldwide. The best preventive measures include wearing a mask, staying six feet apart, washing hands often, avoiding sick people, keeping your hands away from your face and getting adequate rest and nutrition.
  • Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause respiratory illness in humans. They get their name, “corona,” from the many crown-like spikes on the surface of the virus. Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and the common cold are examples of coronaviruses that cause illness in humans.
  • THE EFFECTS OF COVID-19
  • Symptoms of COVID-19 are variable, ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Common symptoms include headache, loss of smell and taste, nasal congestion and runny nose, cough, muscle pain, sore throat, fever, diarrhea, and breathing difficulties. People with the same infection may have different symptoms, and their symptoms may change over time. Three common clusters of symptoms have been identified: one respiratory symptom cluster with cough, sputum, shortness of breath, and fever; a musculoskeletal symptom cluster with muscle and joint pain, headache, and fatigue; a cluster of digestive symptoms with abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. In people without prior ear, nose, and throat disorders, loss of taste combined with loss of smell is associated with COVID-19.
  • A)  Healthcare
  • Challenges in the diagnosis, quarantine and treatment of suspected or confirmed cases
  • High burden of the functioning of the existing medical system
  • Patients with other disease and health problems are getting neglected
  • Overload on doctors and other healthcare professionals, who are at a very high risk
  • Overloading of medical shops
  • Requirement for high protection
  • Disruption of medical supply chain
  • B)  Economic
  •  Slowing of the manufacturing of essential goods
  • Disrupt the supply chain of products
  • Losses in national and international business
  • Poor cash flow in the market
  • Significant slowing down in the revenue growth
  • C)  Social
  •  Service sector is not being able to provide their proper service
  • Cancellation or postponement of large-scale sports and tournaments
  • Avoiding the national and international travelling and cancellation of services
  • Disruption of celebration of cultural, religious and festive events
  • Undue stress among the population
  • Social distancing with our peers and family members
  • Closure of the hotels, restaurants and religious places
  • Closure of places for entertainment such as movie and play theatres, sports clubs, gymnasiums, swimming pools, and so on.
  • Postponement of examinations
  • THE CAUSES OF COVID-19
  • The virus that causes COVID-19 spreads easily among people, and more continues to be discovered over time about how it spreads. Data has shown that it spreads mainly from person to person among those in close contact (within about 6 feet, or 2 meters). The virus spreads by respiratory droplets released when someone with the virus coughs, sneezes, breathes, sings or talks. These droplets can be inhaled or land in the mouth, nose or eyes of a person nearby.
  • In some situations, the COVID-19 virus can spread by a person being exposed to small droplets or aerosols that stay in the air for several minutes or hours — called airborne transmission. It's not yet known how common it is for the virus to spread this way. It can also spread if a person touches a surface or object with the virus on it and then touches his or her mouth, nose or eyes, but the risk is low.
  • PRECAUTIONS OF COVID-19
  • To prevent the spread of COVID-19:
  1. Clean your hands often. Use soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand rub.
  2. Maintain a safe distance from anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
  3. Wear a mask when physical distancing is not possible.
  4. Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
  5. Cover your nose and mouth with your bent elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
  6. Stay home if you feel unwell.
  7. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention.
  8. Calling in advance allows your healthcare provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This protects you, and prevents the spread of viruses and other infections.
  9. Masks:
  • Masks can help prevent the spread of the virus from the person wearing the mask to others. Masks alone do not protect against COVID-19, and should be combined with physical distancing and hand hygiene. Follow the advice provided by your local health authority.
