 About COVID19

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious respiratory disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.The virus affects different people in
different ways. The virus is transmitted from a sick person to a healthy person through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs,
sneezes or talks close to another person.Most of the infected people will develop mild to moderate symptoms and recover without requiring special
treatment. People who have underlying medical conditions and those over 60 years old have a higher risk of developing severe disease and death.

Common symptoms include: Other symptoms include:

● fever ● shortness of breath

● tiredness ● aches and pains
● dry cough ● sore throat
● and very few people will report diarrhoea, nausea or a runny nose.

At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However, there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential
treatments. The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it
spreads and how it can be prevented.
