What is a coronavirus?

Page 5 of 12
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are
known to cause illness ranging from the common cold to
more severe
diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome
(MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
(SARS) The novel, or new, coronavirus has been named
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2) . The disease caused by SARS-CoV-2
infection is called Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)

What is COVID-19?
COVID-19 is the disease caused by the most recently
discovered coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2
▪ The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are:
fever, dry cough, and shortness of breath.

Page 6 of 12
▪ Other symptoms that are less common and may
affect some patients include: aches and pains,
nasal congestion, headache, conjunctivitis, sore throat,
diarrhea, loss of taste or smell or
discoloration of fingers or toes.
▪ These symptoms are usually mild and begin
gradually.
▪ Some people become infected but only have very
mild symptoms. Of those with symptoms, most
people (about 80%) recover from the disease without
needing hospital treatment. Around 1 out
of every 5 people who gets COVID-19 becomes
seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing.
▪ Older people, and those with underlying medical
problems like high blood pressure, heart and
lung problems, diabetes, or cancer, are at higher risk
of developing serious illness.

Contact Tracing
A contact is a person who experienced any one of the
following exposures during the 2 days before and the
14 days after the onset of symptoms of a probable or
confirmed case:

Page 7 of 12
1. Face-to-face contact with a probable or confirmed
case within 1 meter and for more than 15 minutes;
2. Direct physical contact
with a probable or
confirmed case;
3. Direct care for a
patient with probable or
confirmed COVID-19
disease without using
proper personal
protective equipment;
4. Other situations as
indicated by local risk assessments.
days after the date on which the sample was taken
which led to confirmation.
Identify contacts of the infected patient and
record:
▪Names, contact, demographic information
▪Date of first and last exposure or date of
contact with the confirmed or probable case,
and
▪Date of onset when fever or respiratory
symptoms develop

Page 8 of 12
The common exposures and type of contact with
confirmed or suspected cases should be
thoroughly documented for any contacts that
become infected

Prevention From Covid-19
• Clean your hands regularly with soap and water or an
alcohol-based hand rub product
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue, a sleeve, or
flexed elbow when coughing or sneezing
• Keep at least 1 meter from other people when outside the
home
• Avoid the 3C’s: crowded spaces, close-contact settings, and
confined and enclosed spaces
• Open a window to increase amount of fresh air
• Wear a medical or fabric mask when you cannot maintain
1 meter
distance from
other people
• Avoid
unprotected
close contact
with anyone
developing
cold or flu-like
symptoms and

breathing

Test for COVID-19:

Conclusion:
The coronavirus is a viral disease caused by covid-19. It affects lung and can
cause serious problems in immunologically incompetent people .Prevention
is best way to fight coronavirus.
