The people got
interested while the man completed his speech. The man said," Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause
illness in animals or humans. In humans, several coronaviruses are known
to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe
diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most recently discovered coronavirus causes
coronavirus disease COVID-19."
One asked, "What is
the Covid-19?"
He answered," COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the most recently
discovered coronavirus. This new virus and disease were unknown before the
outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019."
Other asked," What
is the symptoms of the Covoid-19:?"
He answered," The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness, and
dry cough. Some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny
nose, sore throat or diarrhea. These symptoms are usually mild and begin
gradually. Some people become infected but don’t develop any symptoms and don't
feel unwell. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing
special treatment. Around 1 out of every 6 people who gets COVID-19 becomes
seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing. Older people, and those with
underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems or
diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness. People with fever, cough
and difficulty breathing should seek medical attention."
The third asked,
"how does Covid-19 spread?"
He answered,"
People can
catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. The disease can spread from
person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread
when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales. These droplets land on objects
and surfaces around the person. Other people then catch COVID-19 by touching
these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. People can
also catch COVID-19 if they breathe in droplets from a person with COVID-19 who
coughs out or exhales droplets. This is why it is important to stay more than 1
meter (3 feet) away from a person who is sick.
WHO is assessing ongoing research on the ways COVID-19 is spread
and will continue to share updated findings."
The same
person asked," Can the virus that causes COVID-19 be transmitted through the
air?
He answered," Studies to date suggest that the virus that
causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through contact with respiratory droplets
rather than through the air. See previous answer on “How does COVID-19
spread?”
One asked,"
Can CoVID-19 be caught from a person who has no symptoms?
He answered," The main way the disease spreads is through
respiratory droplets expelled by someone who is coughing. The risk of catching
COVID-19 from someone with no symptoms at all is very low. However, many people
with COVID-19 experience only mild symptoms. This is particularly true at the
early stages of the disease. It is therefore possible to catch COVID-19 from
someone who has, for example, just a mild cough and does not feel ill.
WHO is assessing ongoing research on the period of transmission of COVID-19 and
will continue to share updated findings.
