I. Definition
The SARSCoV-2 virus causes Coronavirus Illness (COVID-19), an infectious
disease. The majority of those infected with the virus will develop mild to
moderate respiratory symptoms and recover without the need for specific
treatment. Some people, though, will become critically unwell and require
medical help. Serious sickness is more likely to strike the elderly and those
with underlying medical disorders such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
chronic respiratory disease, or cancer. COVID-19 may make anybody sick
and cause serious illness or death at any age. When an infected person
coughs, sneezes, speaks, sings, or breathes, the virus spreads in little liquid
particles from their mouth or nose.
