CORONAVIRUS DISEASE
SINGS AND SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of COVID-19 are non-specific and those infected may either be asymptomatic or
develop flu like symptoms such as fever, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, or muscle pain. The typical signs and
symptoms and their prevalence, are shown in the corresponding table.
Further development can lead to severe pneumonia,
acute respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis, septic
shock, and death. Some of those infected
may be asymptomatic, returning test results
that confirm infection but show no clinical symptoms, so
researchers have issued advice that those with close
contact to confirmed infected people should be closely
monitored and examined to rule out infection. The
usual incubation period (the time between infection and
symptom onset) ranges from one to fourteen days; it is
most commonly five days. In one case, it had an
incubation period of 27 days. The primary
mode of transmission is via respiratory droplets
that people exhale, for example when coughing or
sneezing. Droplets only stay suspended in the air for a
short time but may stay viable and contagious on a metal, glass or plastic surface. Details for the virus were not available
as of 26 February 2020, and it is assumed that they are similar to other coronaviruses, which survive for up to nine days
at room temperature. Disinfection of surfaces is possible with substances such as 62–71% ethanol applied for one
minute
The WHO (world health organization) has stated that the risk of spread from someone without symptoms is "very low."
However, if someone has beginning symptoms and a mild cough, there is a risk of transmission. In addition, an analysis of
infections in Singapore and Tianjin in China revealed that many coronavirus infections may be spread by people who have
recently caught the virus and have not yet begun to show symptoms. This finding means that isolating people once they
start to feel ill is less effective than hoped. There have been estimates for the basic reproduction number (the average
number of people an infected person is likely to infect), ranging from 2.13 to 4.82. This is similar to severe acute respiratory
syndrome-related coronavirus (SARS-CoV).
Prevention suggestions include good hygiene, such as washing hands when appropriate, avoiding touching the eyes, nose
or mouth with unwashed hands, coughing/sneezing into a tissue and putting the tissue directly into a dustbin and (for
those who may already have the infection) wearing a surgical mask in public. Social distancing measures are also
recommended to prevent transmission.
Many governments advise against all non-essential travel to countries and areas affected by the outbreak. China has
banned the trading and consumption of wild animals.
For health care providers taking care of someone who may be infected standard precautions, contact precautions and
airborne precautions with eye protection are recommended.
Contact tracing is an important method for health authorities to determine the source of an infection and to prevent
further transmission.
Misconceptions are circulating about how to prevent infection: rinsing the nose, gargling with mouthwash, and eating
garlic are not effective.
