COVID-19
Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause
illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases
such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel
coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously
identified in humans.
Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted
between animals and people. Detailed investigations found that
SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-
CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known
coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected
humans.
Common signs of infection include respiratory
symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and
breathing difficulties
• In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia,
severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidnStandard
recommendations to prevent infection spread include
regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when
coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and
eggsey failure and even death. Avoid close contact with
anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as
coughing and sneezing.
It was initially reported to the WHO on December 31,
2019. On January 30, 2020, the WHO declared the
COVID-19 outbreak a global health emergency.
• On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 a
global pandemic, its first such designation since
declaring H1N1 influenza a pandemic in 2009. The
name was chosen to avoid stigmatizing the virus's
origins in terms of populations, geography, or animal
associations
SHAPE OF CORONA VIRUS

• Coronaviruses have extraordinarily large single-stranded RNA


genomes – approximately 26,000 to 32,000 bases or RNA
“letters” in length. Coronavirus particles are surrounded by a
fatty outer layer called an envelope and usually appear spherical,
as seen under an electron microscope, with a crown or “corona”
of club-shaped spikes on their surface.
Recovery time for the coronavirus disease:
Using available preliminary data, the median time from
onset to clinical recovery for mild cases is
approximately 2 weeks and is 3-6 weeks for patients
with severe or critical disease
TREATMENT OF CORONA VIRUS

• There is no specific treatment for disease caused by a


novel coronavirus. However, many of the symptoms can
be treated and therefore treatment based on the
patient's clinical condition. Moreover, supportive care
for infected persons can be highly effective. If people
test positive, they should be isolated and the people
they have been in close contact with up to 2 days
before they developed symptoms should be sought out,
and those people should be tested too if they show
symptoms of COVID-19.
