Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
The virus is typically spread during close contact and via respiratory droplets produced when people cough or sneeze.
Recommended measures to prevent infection include frequent hand washing, social distancing
(maintaining physical distance from others, especially from those with symptoms),
covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue or inner elbow, and keeping unwashed hands away from the face.
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak a
Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) on 30 January 2020 and a pandemic on 11 March 2020.
Local transmission of the disease has been recorded in many countries across all six WHO regions.
Some common symptoms linked to COVID-19 include:
- Shortness of breath.
- Having a cough that gets more severe over time.
- A low-grade fever that gradually increases in temperature.
- Trouble breathing.
- Blue lips or face.
- Persistent pain or pressure in the chest.
- Confusion.
- Excessive drowsiness.
How to stay safe from Covid-19?
- Clean the hands regularly with an alcohol-based sanitizer, or wash them with soap and water.
- Clean surfaces — such as kitchen seats and work desks — regularly with disinfectant.
- A low-grade fever that gradually increases in temperature
Avoid crowded areas when going out, for people over 60 years old and people with any underlying health problems.
Try to avoid close contact with people who display flu-like symptoms, including coughing and sneezing.
