WHAT IS MEANT BY CORONA
VIRUS?

Coronavirus is a group of viruses that can cause disease in animals or


humans. Several types of corona viruses are known to cause respiratory
infections in humans ranging from cold coughs to more serious ones such
as the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). A new type of Coronavirus has been found to
cause COVID-19.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF
COVID 19?

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, fatigue, and dry cough. Some
patients may experience pain and ache, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or
diarrhea. Symptoms experienced are usually mild and appear gradually. Some infected
people do not show any symptoms and still feel healthy. Most (around 80%) infected
people recover without the need for special treatment. About 1 in 6 people who are
infected with COVID-19 suffer from severe pain and difficulty breathing. Elderly people
and people with pre-existing medical conditions such as high blood pressure, heart
problems or diabetes, are more likely to experience more serious illness. Those who have
a fever, cough and difficulty breathing should seek medical help.
