The outbreak of coronavirus

What is coronavirus ?
Coronavirus is a virus in the family Coronaviridae. They are enveloped
viruses with a positive-sense RNA genome. They have a nucleocapsid of
helical symmetry. The genome size of coronaviruses is about 26 to 32
kilobases, which is extraordinarily large for an RNA virus.

The name of ‘Coronavirus’.

The name "coronavirus" comes from the Latin
word corona, meaning "crown" or "halo", and
refers to how virions look under an electron
microscopy. They have a fringe of large, bulbous
surface projections looking like a crown. This
morphology is created by the viral spike (s)
peplomers, which are proteins on the surface of
the virus. They decide which cells the virus can
infect. Coronaviruses often stick to the hands, and the virus is often caused by people touching their hands to
their mouth. It gets in the trachea and makes it way down to the lungs, where it sticks to cells and tissues to
replicate itself.

Japanese national. By 9 April, the pandemic had spread to all 34 provinces in the country after Gorontalo
confirmed its first case, with East Java, Jakarta, and South Sulawesi being the worst-hit.

How dangerous is COVID 19 disease?

Although for most people COVID-19 causes only mild illness, it can make some people very ill. More rarely, the
disease can be fatal. Older people, and those with pre- existing medical conditions (such as high blood pressure,
heart problems or diabetes) appear to
be more vulnerable.

Prevention
Protect yourself and others around you by knowing the facts and taking appropriate precautions. Follow advice
provided by your local health authority.

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.

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.

Self Care 🥰
If you feel sick you should rest, drink plenty of fluid, and eat nutritious food. Stay in a separate room from other
family members, and use a dedicated bathroom if possible. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.
Everyone should keep a healthy lifestyle at home.
Maintain a healthy diet, sleep, stay active, and make
social contact with loved ones through the phone or
internet. Children need extra love and attention from
adults during difficult times. Keep to regular routines
and schedules as much as possible.
It is normal to feel sad, stressed, or confused during a
crisis. Talking to people you trust, such as friends and
family, can help. If you feel overwhelmed, talk to a
health worker or counsellor.

❗❗ Medical Trearments ❗❗
If you have mild symptoms and are otherwise healthy, self-isolate and contact your medical provider or a
COVID 19 information line for advice. Seek medical care if you have a fever, a cough, and difficulty breathing.
Call in advance.

What should I do if I test positive for the coronavirus disease?

If people test positive, they should be isolated and the people they have been in close contact with up to 2 days
before they developed symptoms should be sought out, and those people should be tested too if they show
symptoms of COVID-19. WHO also advises that all confirmed cases, even mild cases, should be isolated in
health facilities, to prevent transmission and provide adequate care. But we recognize that many countries have
already exceeded their capacity to care for mild cases in dedicated health facilities.

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.
