Health and Hygiene During Covid-19

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases. A novel coronavirus is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans. An outbreak of the novel (new) coronavirus was first reported in December 2019 when cases of viral pneumonia with an unknown origin were confirmed in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Because of its similarity to SARS-CoV, the virus has been named: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This virus causes the disease referred to as COVID-19 – Coronavirus disease 2019. Similar to other coronaviruses SARS-CoV-2 is suspected to have come from animals, potentially bats.

Symptoms: The most common symptoms include flu-like symptoms such as fever, dry cough, and shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing. Symptoms can also include chills and repeated shaking, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and loss of sense of taste or smell. Symptoms typically appear within 2 days to 14 days after exposure. Those with a weakened immune system, the elderly, and those with a pre-existing condition (specifically high blood pressure, heart or lung disease, cancer, or diabetes) appear to be more prone to severe illness. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience trouble breathing, persistent
chest pain or pressure, blue lips or face, or confusion.
