CORONAVIRUS

ABOUT THE BOOK

There is a spread of a new coronavirus devastating the city of Wuhan in the Chinese

province of Hubei. The virus outbreak began in early December 2019 and has spread further.

People infected for the first time were connected to the seafood wholesaler in southern China, which has been closed since then.

Health authorities in China have reported thousands of cases. Cases have been identified in other countries, mainly of people traveling from China, including Chinese or people returning from China to their respective countries. The virus can spread from one person to another through contact or even near the infected person.

More than 20 countries have reported cases, including Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong,

Thailand, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, Germany, Vietnam, Australia, France, United

States, India, United Kingdom, etc. and many other countries in China people detection

centers.

This is a large family of viruses collectively known as the coronavirus. Most known

coronavirus symptoms only have a simple effect on humans, e.g., B. a mild respiratory illness such as the common cold. However, there were two cases of coronavirus that had a massive impact on infected people. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS).

Symptom: Fever, cough, and shortness of breath are some of the signs and symptoms that are seen in those infected. Some of the patients have also reported a sore throat. There has been speculation about the potential severe cause of diseases of the new

coronavirus, although any evidence does not support these claims. People with chronic

diseases and the elderly may have an increased risk of developing severe illness from this virus.

Risk: According to the WHO, people who live or travel where the virus spreads have a high risk of infection. Currently, the virus is only present in China, and all infected non-residents of China have recently traveled to China and have contacted infected people in China.

According to the WHO, the risk for people who do not live in China is shallow since they do not come in contact with the non-resident Chinese who are infected. Besides, WHO states that simple disinfectants can quickly eliminate the virus if it is present on a surface and that the virus has a relatively low survival time on any surface.
