A Brief Overview of Coronavirus COVID19

The whole world is facing the effects of a deadly epidemic called coronavirus these days. The outbreak of this disease was experienced in Wuhan (China) in December 2019. Now the spread of virus has been observed in more than 210 countries of the world. Although no cure for the disease has been discovered but the World Health Organization (WHO) and other health centers have suggested different steps to remain safe and reduce the chances to get infected from the disease. Almost all the countries have testing facilities for better diagnosis before facing the severe conditions of patients.

Symptoms of Coronavirus

The people infecting from COVID19 experience symtoms within 14 days after its exposure. The symptoms may vary from person to person but the most common are as follows:

• Pain in muscles
• Dry cough
• Fever
• Breathing problem
• Chills
• Infectious Throat

Less common symptoms include headache, diarrhea, vomiting, loss of taste and nausea. According to WHO report, more than 70% people recover from the disease without requiring medical treatment. People with weak immune systems (older people or those having some chronic diseases like cancer, blood pressure and heart problems) are at larger risk of developing these symptoms followed by serious infection. In that case, such people are required to seek the serious medical attention to get rid of the disease safely.

• When a healthy person touches an object or any surface which already has a virus
• The coronavirus can also be transmitted from animals to the human beings
