Information about Coronavirus
Coronavirus disease (covid-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Typically, dozens of people infected with covid -19 virus present with a nonspecific mild to moderate illness manifesting as fever, myalgia, malaise and respiratory symptoms. COVID-19 virus infection is associated with exacerbations of underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease and cancer most commonly in older people.
The best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is to be well informed about its various characteristics. The spread of crona virus can also be prevented by washing your hands and avoiding touching your face.
The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or mucus, which are discharged from the nose after an infected person coughs or sneezes.
Symptoms generally begin 2 to 14 days after a person comes into contact with the virus.
There are COVID-19 tests available that can test for current infection or past infection. There are two types of viral tests that can be used: PCR and antigen tests and also antibody tests that might show us if we had a past infection.
