Continuous warnings, spread during the previous period, due to the new Corona virus, which caused more than 100 thousand people infection, and the death of more than 3 thousand others, which led to a large wave of panic among the world’s population, and called on the World Health Organization to declare an international emergency, With coronary virus outbreaks.
“The virus is spread by drops of coughing and sneezing, and it can survive in the fender of buses and trains for up to 3 days,” Chris White, the chief medical officer in Britain, said.
What is Corona virus?
“Coronavirus” is the name of a large family of viruses that cause diseases ranging from common cold to more serious diseases such as SARS. “Covid 19” appeared in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December last year, and the Corona virus attacks the respiratory system, causing lung-like pneumonia-like lesions .
Scientists believe, the new strain has moved from bats sold in the Chinese Wuhan seafood market to humans.
What are the early warning signs of Corona?
The British Health Authority and the World Health Organization have indicated that there are warning signs that the virus can be detected early:
dry cough
Continuous high temperature
Shortness of breath
Aches and pains in the body
Sore throat or diarrhea
The symptoms are usually mild, and they begin to rise gradually, and if a person has a fever and shortness of breath for 3 days, this means that he must go to the hospital, and undergo a virus test.
And the development of these symptoms does not necessarily mean that a person suffers from the virus, as some people do not have any symptoms, and about one out of every six people who develop coronas develop serious diseases and difficulty breathing, according to the World Health Organization.
