It discusses how the virus spreads through respiratory droplets, its symptoms like fever and cough, and prevention methods like hand washing. 2. The virus can be transmitted between animals and humans and between humans via coughs, sneezes or touching contaminated surfaces. Its symptoms range from mild to severe pneumonia. 3. Prevention focuses on hygiene like hand washing and avoiding contact with infected individuals, while treatment consists of rest, hydration and over-the-counter fever/sore throat medications. A vaccine is still in development.

    2019 – NCov Awareness


    December 2019 emerge in Wuhan China.
    Some of the first people with 2019 NCov had links to an animal and seafood market. Animals
    transmit the virus to human, then human pass the virus to each other
    26 Countries affected so far
    17, 205 Across China affected
    361 Death – across China and one in Philippines
    1. IDENTIFICATION
    Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses found in both animals and humans. Some
    infect people and are known to cause illness ranging from the common cold to more
    severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute
    Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
    Can infect both animals
    A novel coronavirus (CoV) is a new strain of coronavirus that has not been previously
    identified in humans. The new, or “novel” coronavirus, now called 2019-nCoV, had not
    previously detected before the outbreak was reported in Wuhan, China in December
    2019.
    Type of virus that typically affect the respiratory tract of mammals, including humans,
    associated with common cold, pneumonia, and severe acute respiratory syndrome
    - Crown like projections on their surfaces
    - Mutating abilities make it so contagious
    2. TRANSMISSION
    HOW DOES THIS VIRUS SPREAD?
    The new coronavirus is a respiratory virus which spreads primarily through contact with
    an infected person through respiratory droplets generated when a person, for example,
    coughs or sneezes, or through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose. It is
    important that everyone practice good respiratory hygiene. For example, sneeze or
    cough into a flexed elbow, or use a tissue and discard it immediately into a closed bin.
    It is also very important for people to wash their hands regularly with either alcohol-
    based hand rub or soap and water.
    It takeS 2-14 days for a person to notice symptoms after infection

    7 Types of Corona Virus


    1. 229E (alpha corona virus)
    2. NL63 (alpha corona virus)
    3. OC43 (beta corona virus)
    4. HKU1 (beta corona virus)
    5. MERS-Cov
    6. SARS
    7. Novel N-Cov
    Virus transmit from infected person using secreted fluid from the respiratory system
    1. Coughing and sneezing without covering the mouth can disperse droplets into the air,
    spreading the virus
    2. Touching or shaking hands with a person that has the virus can pass the virus from one
    person to another
    3. Making contact with a surface or object that hat the virus and then touching your nose,
    eyes, or mouth
    3. SYMPTOMS
    1. Runny nose
    2. coughing
    3. sore throat
    4. Fever
    5. sneezing
    6. fatigue
    7. exacerbated asthma
    Pneumonia – a severe lung infection
    If infection spread to the lower respiratory tract, wind pipe and lungs, it can cause pneumonia,
    especially in older people, people with heart disease, and people with weakened immune
    system
    4. PREVENTION
    1. Washing your hand thoroughly with soap and warm water or with alcohol base hand
    sanitizer
    2. Keep your hands and finger away from your eyes, nose, and mouth
    3. Avoid close contact with people who are infected
    5. TREATMENT
    1. Get plenty of rest
    2. Drink enough water
    3. Take medicine for sore throat and fever
    4. Boost your immune system
    No vaccine available
    Scientists in China and Australia have replicated the virus. This could allow for early
    detection and treatment in people who have the virus but are not showing symptoms
    How to boost immune system
    1. Do not smoke
    2. Eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables
    3. Exercise regularly
    4. Maintain a healthy weight
    5. If you drink alcohol, drink only in moderation
    6. Get adequate sleep
    7. Try to minimize stress
