What is covid-19 virus or corona virus?

• an acute respiratory illness in humans caused by a coronavirus,

conditions. It was originally identified in China in 2019 and became
pandemic in 2020.

• What are the signs and symptoms of coronaviruses?
• In confirmed cases of COVID-19 infections, symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath and the severity has ranged from mild to people being
severely ill. The virus that causes COVID-19 seems to be spreading easily and sustainably in the community (“community spread”) in some affected
geographic areas. Community spread means people have been infected with the virus in an area, including some who are not sure how or where they
became infected.

• In other coronaviruses, common signs of infection include:

• runny nose
• headache
• cough
• sore throat
• fever
• a general feeling of being unwell
• How can I protect myself from coronaviruses?
• The best way to protect yourself from contracting coronaviruses is by using the same daily habits that help prevent the spread of many viruses, including the
common cold and the flu. To help prevent the spread of disease always:

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

• Wash your hands with soap and water frequently. Wash with soap and warm water for 20 seconds. If soap and water aren't available, use an alcohol-based
hand rub.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Stay home when you’re sick (and keep sick children home from school).
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands. If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper
sleeve or elbow, not your hands.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

• A high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest
or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
• a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an
hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have
a cough, it may be worse than usual)
• a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you’ve
noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste
different to norm
Mode of disease transmission
• Mode of transmission
• Direct/indirect contact
• Droplet
Health protocol
• To prevent the spread of COVID-19:
• Maintain a safe distance from others (at least 1 meter), even if they don’t appear to be sick.
• Wear a mask in public, especially indoors or when physical distancing is not possible.
• Choose open, well-ventilated spaces over closed ones. Open a window if indoors.
• Clean your hands often. Use soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand rub.
• Get vaccinated when it’s your turn. Follow local guidance about vaccination.
• Cover your nose and mouth with your bent elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
• Stay home if you feel unwell.
• If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention. Call in advance so
your healthcare provider can direct you to the right health facility. This protects you, and
prevents the spread of viruses and other infections.
