About Coronavirus and the signs of infection

The Coronavirus COVID-19 was first identified on January 7, 2020. Since that time, its spread across the globe has been rapid and pervasive. On March 11, the WHO (World Health Organization) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic.

A new strain, previously unidentified in humans, Coronavirus COVID-19 causes adverse affects similar to the influenza virus. Common signs of infection include:

respiratory symptoms,
shortness of breath and/or difficulty breathing,
fever,
cough.

In the most severe cases, it can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.

Measures to prevent from COVID-19 infection

Highly contagious, COVID-19 can spread from person to person via small airborn droplets from the nose and mouth when a person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can also land on objects or surfaces, thereby contaminating them. This is why it is extremely important to follow the set of protective measures recommended by the WHO to reduce the risks of infection and further proliferation.
