CORONAVIRUS
What is coronavirus or covid 19 ? :
coronaviruses are a type of virus. There are many different kinds, and some cause
disease. A newly identified coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, has caused a worldwide
pandemic of respiratory illness, called COVID-19.
How does the coronavirus spread? :
As of now, researchers know that the new coronavirus is spread through droplets
released into the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The droplets
generally do not travel more than a few feet, and they fall to the ground (or onto
surfaces) in a few seconds — this is why physical distancing is effective in
preventing the spread. The virus that cause COVID-19 spreads primarily through
droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks. You can
also become infected by touching a contaminated surface and then touching your
eyes, nose or mouth before washing your hands. It appears that symptoms are
showing up in people within 14 days of exposure to the virus.
Corona started from:
Corona virus started from china. COVID-19 appeared in Wuhan, a city in
China, in December 2019. Although health officials are still tracing the
exact source of this new coronavirus, early hypotheses thought it may
be linked to a seafood market in Wuhan, China. Some people who
visited the market developed viral pneumonia caused by the new
coronavirus. A study that came out on Jan. 25, 2020, notes that the
individual with the first reported case became ill on Dec. 1, 2019, and
had no link to the seafood market. Investigations are ongoing as to how
this virus originated and spread.
