A coronavirus is a kind of common virus that causes an infection in your nose, sinuses, or upper
throat. Most coronaviruses aren't dangerous.
In early 2020, after a December 2019 outbreak in China, the World Health Organization
identified SARS-CoV-2 as a new type of coronavirus. The outbreak quickly spread around the
world.
COVID-19 is a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 that can trigger what doctors call a respiratory
tract infection. It can affect your upper respiratory tract (sinuses, nose, and throat) or lower
respiratory tract (windpipe and lungs).
It spreads the same way other coronaviruses do, mainly through person-to-person contact.
Infections range from mild to deadly.
SARS-CoV-2 is one of seven types of coronavirus, including the ones that cause severe diseases
like Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and sudden acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
The other coronaviruses cause most of the colds that affect us during the year but aren’t a serious
threat for otherwise healthy people.
An early Chinese study of 103 COVID-19 cases found two strains, which they named L and S.
The S type is older, but the L type was more common in early stages of the outbreak. They think
one may cause more cases of the disease than the other, but they’re still working on what it all
means.
It is also normal for a virus to change, or mutate, as it infects people and this virus has done so.
There are several variants which have been named for the regions they were first discovered but
they have now spread to other areas and countries, some proving to be more contageous as well
as more deadly.
There's no way to tell how long the pandemic will continue. There are many factors, including
the public’s efforts to slow the spread, researchers’ work to learn more about the virus, their
search for a treatment, and the success of the vaccines.

Community Quarantine
Hundreds and thousands of people have been infected and have died because of the expansion of
epidemics of the new virus that’s spreading around the world known as The coronavirus disease or
popularly known as “COVID-19”.
It is said that this pandemic is the global health crisis of our time and the most challenging issue we have
faced since World War II. Though, It is said that there are already vaccines for the virus , We all know
that they are not free, cheap and states have to pay a lot of money to get sufficient resources for
vaccines and the cost is oftentimes not affordable.
Community Quarantine is needed to keep someone who might have been exposed to COVID-19 away
from others. It also helps prevent spread of disease that can occur before a person knows they are sick
or if they are infected with the virus without feeling symptoms. People in quarantine should stay home,
separate themselves from others, monitor their health, and follow directions from their state or local
health department.
