FACTS ABOUT COVID-19

What is COVID-19? 

COVID-19 is a disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus. ‘CO’ stands for corona, ‘VI’ for virus, and

‘D’ for disease. Formerly, this disease was referred to as ‘2019 novel coronavirus’ or ‘2019-nCoV.’

The COVID-19 virus is a new virus linked to the same family of viruses as Severe Acute Respiratory

Syndrome (SARS) and some types of common cold.

What are the symptoms of COVID-19? 

Symptoms can include fever, cough and shortness of breath. In more severe cases, infection can cause

pneumonia or breathing difficulties. More rarely, the disease can be fatal. These symptoms are similar to

the flu (influenza) or the common cold, which are a lot more common than COVID-19. This is why testing

is required to confirm if someone has COVID-19.

How does COVID-19 spread? 

The virus is transmitted through direct contact with respiratory droplets of an infected person (generated

through coughing and sneezing). Individuals can also be infected from and touching surfaces

contaminated with the virus and touching their face (e.g., eyes, nose, mouth). The COVID-19 virus may

survive on surfaces for several hours, but simple disinfectants can kill it.

Who is most at risk?

chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease, appear to be more at risk of developing

severe symptoms.  As this is a new virus, we are still learning about how it affects children. We know it is
