Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Coronavirus (VC) is a broad family of viruses that cause illness from the common cold to more severe Middle East Respiratory Syndrome and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. The novel coronavirus is a new species that has never been identified in humans.

The first case of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first reported from Wuhan, China, on December 31, 2019. To date, 67,107 instances of coronavirus have been diagnosed worldwide in 29 countries. The death toll from coronavirus is 1,526, while 8,365 people have been infected.

Common symptoms of infection include shortness of breath, fever, cough, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. In severe cases, the condition can cause pneumonia, severe respiratory disease, kidney failure, and even death.

Typical recommendations for preventing the spread of infection include frequent hand washing, covering the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, and cooking meat and eggs thoroughly. Avoid contact with anyone who shows signs of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.

COVID-19 tips for households who may be infected with the coronavirus.

• People who have symptoms caused by a coronavirus and do not need treatment in a hospital should stay home until they are healthy.

• Those are living in a household with a person with symptoms that the coronavirus can cause.

• If you live alone and have coronavirus disease symptoms (COVID-19), even if they are mild, stay at home for seven days after your symptoms show up.

• If you live with others and are the first to have coronavirus symptoms, you need to stay home, but all other household members who stay well need to remain in the house and not leave the house for 14 days. The duration of 14 days begins the day the first person in the house became sick.

• For any other person in the household who becomes symptomatic, they must remain at home for seven days from the time the symptoms develop, regardless of the day they are in the initial 14-day isolation period.
• People living inside a household will become infected or probably already become infected.
•  Staying at home for 14 days will dramatically reduce the total number of infections that the family may transmit to other community members.

• if you can, remove some vulnerable people (such as the elderly and those with poor health) from your home to stay with friends or family during a family party
• if you can’t get vulnerable people out of your home, staying as far away from them as possible

if you have coronavirus symptoms

• do not go for GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital
• coronavirus testing is not required if you live at home
• plan and seek help from others to ensure that you can successfully stay home and consider what can be done to vulnerable people at home
• ask your employer, friends, and family to help you find the things you need to stay home
• wash your hands every 20 seconds, each time using soap and water, or using a hand sanitizer

If you feel that you cannot cope with your symptoms at home, or your condition worsens, or your symptoms do not improve seven days afterward, contact your health care provider.
