A coronavirus is one of many viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds.
- Moreover, In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections that are typically mild.
- Furthermore, the common cold, though rarer forms such as SARS, MERS and COVID-19 can be lethal.
- The 2019 novel COVID-19 is one of seven members of this family known to infect humans.
- It is the third in the past three decades to jump from animals to humans.
- Since emerging in China in December, this new COVID-19 has caused a global health emergency.
- Moreover, It is sickening more than 43,000 people worldwide, and so far killing 1,018.
- Symptoms include a runny nose, cough, sore throat, possibly a headache and maybe a fever, which can last for a couple of days.
- Moreover, For those with a weakened immune system, the elderly and the very young.
- There’s a chance the virus could cause a lower, and much more serious, respiratory tract illness like pneumonia or bronchitis.
- In addition there is no specific antiviral treatment recommended for COVID-19.
- People with COVID-19 should receive supportive care to help relieve symptoms.
- Furthermore, For severe cases, treatment should include care to support vital organ functions.
- Then, people who think they exposed to COVID-19 should contact their healthcare provider immediately.
- Moreover, we are trying to keep you up-to-date on the latest COVID-19 developments with this resource page.
- Finally, this is amazing article providing links to guidance from government health authorities and the WHO, and journal articles.
