Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus that had not been previously identified in humans.
The virus causes respiratory illness (like the flu) with symptoms such as a cough, fever & in more severe cases, pneumonia. You can protect yourself by washing your hands frequently & avoiding touching your face.
There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease (COVID-19). You can reduce your risk of infection if you:
a) Clean hands frequently with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water
b) Cover nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing with tissue or flexed elbow
c) Avoid close contact (1 metre or 3 feet) with anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms.
Unfortunately there is no specific medicine to prevent or treat coronavirus disease (COVID-19). People may need supportive care to help them breathe.
Few Self-cares, if you have mild symptoms, stay at home until you’ve recovered. You can relieve your symptoms if you:
-rest & sleep
-keep warm
-drink plenty of liquids
-use a room humidifier or take a hot shower to help ease a sore throat & cough
-and last but not least, do consult a doctor, be safe, cheers!
