- 1. CORONAVIRUS Different types ofviruses causing illness in animals and humans Respiratory Common cold Severe disease
- 2. What is COVID-19? Anew virus called the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was identified as the cause of a disease outbreak that began in China in 2019. The disease is called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). 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.
- 3. Why is itcalled Coronavirus? Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that have crown- like thorns on their surface. The Latin word for crown is coronam. Coronavirus refers to a large family of viruses that includes SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. For this reason, some people call the virus coronavirus. Crown = “Corona”
- 4. ORIGIN OF THEVIRUS Circulated in a veried range of animals Spillover Effected due to a range of factors MERS-COV SARS-COV
- 5. Coronaviruses are abig family of different viruses. Some of them cause the common cold in people. Others infect animals, including bats, camels, and cattle. The recent outbreak began in Wuhan, a city in the Hubei province of China. Reports of the first COVID-19 cases started in December 2019. SARS-CoV-2 made the jump to humans at one of Wuhan’s open-air “wet markets.” They’re where customers buy fresh meat and fish, including animals that are killed on the spot. Coronavirus History

- 7. Coronaviruses mainly spreadsfrom person to person among those in close contact (within about 6 feet, or 2 meters). The virus spreads by respiratory droplets released when someone infected with the virus coughs, sneezes, breathes, sings or talks. These droplets can be inhaled or land in the mouth, nose or eyes of a person nearby. Sometimes the COVID-19 virus can spread when a person is exposed to small droplets that stay in the air for several minutes or hours — called airborne transmission How does the Coronavirus spread?
- 8. SYMPTOMS Exposure Symptoms 5-6 days Rangefrom 1-14 days Very mild to severe Some may be asymptomatic Fever Fatigue Respiratory symptoms Cough Sore throat Shortness of breath

- 10. COVID-19 symptoms canbe very mild to severe. Some people have no symptoms. The most common symptoms are fever, cough and tiredness. Other symptoms may include shortness of breath, muscle aches, chills, sore throat, headache, chest pain, and loss of taste or smell. This list is not all inclusive. Other less common symptoms have also been reported. Symptoms may appear two to 14 days after exposure. What are the symptoms of Coronavirus?

The risk is higher for anyone in close contact with people who have COVID-19, such as healthcare workers. Others are:-
- 13. DIAGNOSIS Reverse Transcription - PolymeraseChain Reaction (RT-PCR) Antibody (serology) test Previous infection
- 14. Which are thediagnostic tests? PCR test: This tests for the presence of the actual virus’s genetic material or its fragments as it breaks down. This is the most reliable and accurate test for detecting active infection. Antibody (serology) test: This tests detects if you’ve had an immune response (antibodies) to the virus. This means that you’ve had the virus and your body (immune system, specifically antibodies) has mounted an attack to fight it. The test is detecting those antibodies. This test shouldn’t be used to diagnose an active infection.

- 18. MEDICATION In October 2020,the FDA approved the antiviral drug Remdesivir to treat COVID-19. The drug may be used to treat adults and children ages 12 and older and weighing at least 88 pounds, who have been hospitalized for COVID-19. Clinical trials suggest that in these patients, remdesivir may modestly speed up recovery time. Remdesivir Antiviral drug
- 19. PREVENTION Covering mouth and noseWash hands and sanitize Social distancing 1m
- 20. Masks and PPE healthsettings Stay at home if unwell Hotline Medical professional Seek medical care early Share travel history Contact with unwell people Fever Cough Difficulty breathing Important to follow this advice
