Corona Virus Pandemic


Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus

Symptoms

People may be sick with the virus for 1 to 14 days before developing symptoms. The most common symptoms of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment.
More rarely, the disease can be serious and even fatal. Older people, and people with other medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), may be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill.

People may experience:

cough
fever
tiredness
difficulty breathing (severe cases)

Treating Covid-19

Currently, no antiviral medication is recommended to treat COVID-19. Treatment is directed at relieving symptoms and may include:


  • Pain relievers (ibuprofen or acetaminophen)
  • Cough syrup or medication
  • Rest
  • Fluid intake


There is no specific medicine to prevent or treat coronavirus disease (COVID-19). People may need supportive care to help them breathe.

If your doctor thinks you can be treated at home, he or she may give you special instructions, such as to isolate yourself as much as possible from family and pets while you're sick and to stay home for a period of time. If you're very ill, you may need to be treated in the hospital.
