The World Health Organization has declared coronavirus a global public health threat.
The Chinese city of Wuhan is considered the center of the spread of acute respiratory syndrome.
In mid-January, the disease crossed the Chinese border.
Coronavirus is a group of viruses that cause respiratory infections - the virus undergoes mutation and adaptation, making it difficult to control its spread.
The main symptoms of infection caused by respiratory symptoms are:
- Fever;
- Cough;
- Chest sensation;
- Shortness of breath;
Complex cases can be diagnosed with pulmonary inflammation, acute respiratory syndrome, renal failure, and it is possible that the clinical case can be fatal.
The incubation period is 14 days.
The specific treatment method for this disease has not been developed yet, so the treatment is symptomatic and syndromic depending on the patient's condition.
To prevent it, it is advised to take standard precautions, for example:
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and running water;
- Apply hand disinfectant to dry hands;
- Do not touch the eyes and nose;
- Avoid public places as far as possible;
- Use a medical mask indoors;
- Handle items for personal use with disinfectant;
- Frequently clean the room and clean it in a wet manner.
