2 HOST: What is CoViD-19? Unsa man gyud ning CoViD-19?
4 HOST: According to CDC or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
5 Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an illness caused by a virus that can spread from
6 person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a new coronavirus that
7 has spread throughout the world. COVID-19 symptoms can range from
8 mild (or no symptoms) to severe illness.
10 HOST: So pasabot ani, ang CoViD-19 sakit ni sya. This is an illness caused by
11 a virus. Ang pangutana, unsa man pud ang virus nga hinungdan aning
12 sakit nga CoViD-19? Mao ni sya ang gitawag nga SARS-CoV-2 or the
13 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2. Mao ni sya ang
14 gipangalan sa 2019 novel coronavirus. Novel, meaning bag-o ni sya. It’s a
15 new strain of coronavirus that has not been previously identified in humans.
17 HOST: Again, akong paga utrohon. Ang CoViD-19, sakit ni sya. Ang
18 hinungdan ani nga sakit is ang virus nga ginganlan nga ug SARS CoV-2 or
19 the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2.
21 HOST: Hinaut unta nasabtan.
Page 3 of 16
1 HOST: Where do coronavirus come from? Diin man ni gikan nga virus?
3 HOST: Coronaviruses are viruses that circulate among animals with some of
-more-
4 them also known to infect humans. Sa kani nga virus, known na kaayu sa
5 ato nga BATS or PANIKI ang gigikanan sa kani nga SARS CoV-2. Bats are
6 considered natural hosts of these viruses yet several other species of
7 animals are also known to act as sources. For instance, Middle East
8 Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is transmitted
9 to humans from camels, and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
10 Coronavirus-1 (SARS-CoV-1) is transmitted to humans from civet cats.
12 HOST: So, to those who are listening, please avoid handling wild animals.
13 You might not be able to avoid wild people but you can definetly avoid
14 wild animals. Just admire them from a distance. Just like your crush.
16 HOST: Unsa may pamaagi nga mukalat or makatakod CoViD-19? How
17 does CoViD-19 spread?
19 HOST: You can become infected by coming into close contact (about 6
20 feet or Two arm lengths) with a person who has COVID-19. COVID-19 is
21 primarily spread from person to person.
Page 4 of 16
1 HOST: Mao ning naa tay gitawag nga “social distancing”. Mudistansya ta
2 sa atong kauban or katapad ug usa ngadto sa duha ka metro. Two arms
3 length dapat imung distansya sa imung katapad or sa tawo nga
4 nagsunod nimu or gisundan nimu. Two arms length is isa ka dupa nato.
-more-
6 HOST: Mao nang giignon nga LDR or Long-Distance Relationship anay.
8 HOST: What is the mode of transmission? How easily does it spread?
10 HOST: Unsa man kuno ang pamaagi nga matakdan ta ani nga virus unya
11 unsa man siya kadali makatakod?
13 While animals are believed to be the original source, the virus spread is
14 now from person to person or human-to-human transmission. There is not
15 enough epidemiological information at this time to determine how easily
16 this virus spreads between people, but it is currently estimated that, on
17 average, one infected person will infect between two and three other
18 people.
20 Ang original source gayud sa virus kay ang mga mananap. Pero after
21 na transmit ni nga virus didto sa tawo, ang transmission is nahimo na nga
22 gikan sa usa ka tawo paadto sa lain napud nga tawo. So, wala na
Page 5 of 16
1 na nanginahanglan ug mananap para mutakod ang virus paadto sa
2 bag-o nga tawo. Mao na dayun ni ang gitawag nato nga human-to-
3 human transmission.
5 The virus seems to be transmitted mainly via small respiratory droplets
6 through sneezing, coughing, or when people interact with each other for
7 some time in close proximity, usually less than one metre. (pause) These
-more-
8 droplets can then be inhaled, or they can land on surfaces that others
9 may come into contact with, who can then get infected when they touch
10 their nose, mouth or eyes. The virus can survive on different surfaces from
11 several hours (copper, cardboard) up to a few days (plastic and stainless
12 steel). (pause) However, the amount of viable virus declines over time and
13 may not always be present in sufficient numbers to cause infection.
15 Kung ang positive sa CoViD-19 mu-ubo, mu-hatsing, or pakig halubilo sa
16 laing tawo sa duol kaayu nga distansya, usa kini sa pamaagi nga kita
17 matakdan. (pause) Kani nga droplets kung dili man ma inhale sa tawo,
18 mu-adto ni sya sa mga butang nga pwede pud nato mahawiran, tapos
19 kung kita nakahawid ani unya muhawid pud ta sa atong ilong, baba, or
20 mata, usa pud ni sa pamaagi nga kita matakdan sa CoViD-19.
22 But, there’s a catch.
Page 6 of 16
2 Ang virus kung maadto sa atong mga butang, naa ra ni sila pila ka oras
3 abot sa pila ka adlaw usa ni sila mapatay. Magkadugay sila nga naa lang
4 sa mga butang, mas magkagamay pud ang ilang kadaghanon. (pause)
5 Mas gamay ang virus nga naa sab utang, mas mugamay ang iyahang
6 tsansa nga maka cause sya ug infection or sakit.
8 Pero dili ni siya rason para kita mukumpyansa. Pirmehon gihapon nato
9 ang paghugas ug pag sanitize sa atong mga kamot.

11 The incubation period for COVID-19, or the time between exposure to the
12 virus and onset of symptoms, is currently estimated to be between one and
13 14 days. We know that the virus can be transmitted when people who are
14 infected show symptoms such as coughing. There is also some evidence
15 suggesting that transmission can occur from a person that is infected even
16 two days before showing symptoms; however, uncertainties remain about
17 the effect of transmission by asymptomatic persons.
19 When is a person infectious? Kanus-a man nato maingon nga ang usa ka
20 tawo nga adunay CoViD-19 makatakud na?
22 The infectious period may begin one to two days before symptoms
Page 7 of 16
1 appear, but people are likely most infectious during the symptomatic
2 period, even if symptoms are mild and very non-specific. The infectious
3 period is now estimated to last for 7-12 days in moderate cases and up to
4 two weeks on average in severe cases.
6 How severe is COVID-19 infection? Unsa man ka grabe ni nga sakit?
8 Preliminary data from the Europian Economic Area (from the countries with
9 available data) show that around 20-30% of diagnosed COVID-19 cases
10 are hospitalized and 4% have severe illness. Hospitalisation rates are higher
11 for those aged 60 years and above, and for those with other underlying
-more-
12 health conditions.
14 Unsa man ang mga symptomas aning CoViD-19?
16 Symptoms of COVID-19 vary in severity from having no symptoms at all
17 (being asymptomatic) to having fever, cough, sore throat, general
18 weakness and fatigue and muscular pain and in the most severe cases,
19 severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis and septic
20 shock, all potentially leading to death. Reports show that clinical
21 deterioration can occur rapidly, often during the second week of disease.
Page 8 of 16
1 Recently, anosmia – loss of the sense of smell – (and in some cases the loss
2 of the sense of taste) have been reported as a symptom of a COVID-19
3 infection. There is already evidence from South Korea, China and Italy that
4 patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection have developed
5 anosmia/hyposmia, in some cases in the absence of any other symptoms.
7 Are some people more at risk than others?
9 Elderly people above 70 years of age and those with underlying health
10 conditions (e.g. hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic
11 respiratory disease and cancer) are considered to be more at risk of
12 developing severe symptoms. Men in these groups also appear to be at a
13 slightly higher risk than females.
-more-
15 Are children also at risk of infection and what is their potential role in
16 transmission?
18 Children make up a very small proportion of reported COVID-19 cases, with
19 about 1% of all cases reported being under 10 years, and 4% aged 10-19
20 years. Children appear as likely to be infected as adults, but they have a
21 much lower risk than adults of developing symptoms or severe disease.
22 There is still some uncertainty about the extent to which asymptomatic or
Page 9 of 16
1 mildly symptomatic children transmit disease.
3 What is the risk of infection in pregnant women and neonates?
5 There is limited scientific evidence on the severity of illness in pregnant
6 women after COVID-19 infection. It seems that pregnant women appear
7 to experience similar clinical manifestations as nonpregnant women who
8 have progressed to COVID-19 pneumonia and to date (as of 25 March),
9 there have been no maternal deaths, no pregnancy losses and only one
10 stillbirth reported.
12 No current evidence suggests that infection with COVID-
13 19 during pregnancy has a negative effect on the foetus. At present,
14 there is no evidence of transmission of COVID-19 from mother to baby
15 during pregnancy and only one confirmed COVID-19 neonatal case has
-more-
16 been reported to date.
18 Is there a treatment for the COVID-19 disease?
20 There is no specific treatment or vaccine for this disease.
21 Healthcare providers are mostly using a symptomatic approach, meaning
22 they treat the symptoms rather than target the virus, and provide
Page 10 of 16
1 supportive care (e.g. oxygen therapy, fluid management) for infected
2 persons, which can be highly effective.
4 In severe and critically ill patients, a number of drugs are being tried to
5 target the virus, but the use of these need to be more carefully assessed in
6 randomised controlled trials. Several clinical trials are ongoing to assess
7 their effectiveness but results are not yet available.
9 As this is a new virus, no vaccine is currently available. Although work on a
10 vaccine has already started by several research groups and
11 pharmaceutical companies worldwide, it may be many months or even
12 more than a year before a vaccine has been tested and is ready for use in
13 humans.
15 When should I be tested for COVID-19?
17 Current advice for testing depends on the stage of the outbreak in the
-more-
18 country or area where you live. Testing approaches will be adapted to the
19 situation at national and local level. National authorities may decide to test
20 only subgroups of suspected cases based on the national capacity to test,
21 the availability of necessary equipment for testing, the level of community
22 transmission of COVID-19, or other criteria.
Page 11 of 16
2 As a resource conscious approach, European Centre for Disease
3 Prevention and Control has suggested that national authorities may
4 consider prioritising testing in the following groups: hospitalised patients with
5 severe respiratory infections; (pause) symptomatic healthcare staff
6 including those with mild symptoms; (pause) cases with acute respiratory
7 infections in hospital or long-term care facilities; (pause) patients with
8 acute respiratory infections or influenza-like illness in certain outpatient
9 clinics or hospitals; (pause) elderly people with underlying chronic medical
10 conditions such as lung disease, cancer, heart failure, cerebrovascular
11 disease, renal disease, liver disease, diabetes, and immunocompromising
12 conditions.
14 Do persons suffering from pollen allergy or allergies in general have
15 a higher risk to develop severe disease when having COVID-19?
17 A large proportion of the population (up to 15-20%) reports seasonal
18 symptoms related to pollen, the most common of which include itchy eyes,
19 nasal congestion, runny nose and sometimes wheezing and skin rash. All
-more-
20 these symptoms are usually referred to as hay fever, pollen allergy or more
21 appropriately allergic rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis is commonly associated with
22 allergic asthma in children and adults.
Page 12 of 16
2 Allergies, including mild allergic asthma, have not been identified as a
3 major risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection or for a more unfavourable
4 outcome in the studies available so far. Moderate to severe asthma on the
5 other hand, where patients need treatment daily, is included in the chronic
6 lung conditions that predispose to severe disease.
8 Children and adults on maintenance medication for allergies (e.g.
9 leukotriene inhibitors, inhaled corticosteroids and/or bronchodilators) need
10 to continue their treatment as prescribed by their doctor and should not
11 discontinue their medication due to fears of COVID-19. If they develop
12 symptoms compatible with COVID-19, they will need to self-isolate, inform
13 their doctor and monitor their health as everyone else. If progressive
14 difficulty breathing develops, they should seek prompt medical assistance.
16 How can we differentiate between hay fever/pollen allergy related
17 respiratory symptoms and COVID-19 infection?
19 Many people with COVID-19 have mild, flu-like symptoms, which are rather
20 common and need to be distinguished from similar symptoms caused by
21 common cold viruses and from allergic symptoms during springtime.

Page 13 of 16
1 How can we differentiate between hay fever/pollen allergy related
2 respiratory symptoms and COVID-19 infection?
4 (refer to table presented by EU)
6 How can we avoid getting infected?
8 The virus enters your body via your eyes, nose and/or mouth, so it is
9 important to avoid touching your face with unwashed hands.
11 Washing of hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or cleaning
12 hands thoroughly with alcohol-based solutions, gels or tissues is
13 recommended in all settings. It is also recommended to stay one metre or
14 more away from people infected with COVID-19 who are showing
15 symptoms, to reduce the risk of infection through respiratory droplets.
17 How can we avoid infecting others?
19 Cough or sneeze into your elbow or use a tissue. If you use a tissue, dispose
20 of it carefully after a single use. Wash your hands with soap and water for
21 at least 20 seconds. Stay one metre or more away from people to reduce
22 the risk of spreading the virus through respiratory droplets.
Page 14 of 16

2 If you feel unwell, stay at home. If you develop any symptoms suggestive of
3 COVID-19, you should immediately call your healthcare provider for advice.
5 What is physical distancing and why and how should we do it?
7 Physical distancing aims to reduce physical contact between potentially
8 infected people and healthy people, or between population groups with
9 high rates of transmission and others with low or no level of transmission. The
10 objective of this is to decrease or interrupt the spread of COVID-19.
12 Note that the term ‘physical distancing’ means the same thing as the
13 widely used term ‘social distancing’, but it more accurately describes what
14 is intended, namely that people keep physically apart. It is possible that
15 physical distancing measures will have to be implemented over an
16 extended period, and their success depends partially on ensuring that
17 people maintain social contact – from a distance – with friends, family and
18 colleagues. Internet-based communications and tphone are therefore key
19 tools for ensuring a successful physical distancing strategy.
21 Are face masks effective in protecting against COVID-19?
Page 15 of 16
1 If you are infected, the use of surgical face masks may reduce the risk of
2 you infecting other people. On the other hand, there is no evidence that
-more-
3 face masks will effectively prevent you from becoming infected with the
4 virus. In fact, it is possible that the use of face masks may even increase the
5 risk of infection due to a false sense of security and increased contact
6 between hands, mouth and eyes while wearing them. The inappropriate
7 use of masks also may increase the risk of infection.
9 Is there a vaccine against the virus?
11 There are currently no vaccines against human coronaviruses, including
12 the virus that causes COVID-19. This is why it is very important to prevent
13 infection and to take measures to contain further spread of the virus.
15 Are you protected against COVID-19 if you had the influenza vaccine this
16 year?
18 Influenza and the virus that causes COVID-19 are two very different viruses
19 and the seasonal influenza vaccine will not protect against COVID-19.
21 Ug natapos na ang traynta-minuto nato nga panag-uban. Mao kadto
22 ang mga pahinumdum ug mga angay mahibaw-an mahitungod sa
