WHAT ARE CORONAVIRUSES?

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that primarily affect animals, but in some cases can be transmitted to humans.

Usually, diseases caused by coronaviruses occur in a mild form, without causing severe symptoms.

However, there are also severe forms, such as middle East respiratory syndrome (Mers) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars).

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF THE DISEASE CAUSED BY THE NEW CORONAVIRUS?

Feeling of fatigue Difficulty breathing High temperature Cough and / or sore throat Symptoms are similar to many respiratory diseases, often mimic a common cold, and may resemble the flu.

If you have similar symptoms, consider the following:

Have you visited high-risk areas (China and surrounding regions) in the past two weeks?

Have you been in contact with someone who has visited high-risk areas (China and surrounding regions) in the past two weeks?

If the answer to these questions is positive, the symptoms should be treated as carefully as possible.

SYMPTOMS

HOW IS THE CORONAVIRUS TRANSMITTED?

Like other respiratory viruses, coronavirus is spread through droplets that are formed when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

It can also spread when someone touches any contaminated surface, such as a door handle.

People get infected when they touch their mouth, nose, or eyes with contaminated hands.

Initially, the outbreak occurred from animals, presumably, the source was the seafood market in Wuhan, where there was an active trade not only in fish, but also in animals such as marmots, snakes and bats.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM CORONAVIRUS INFECTION?

The most important thing you can do to protect yourself is to keep your hands and surfaces clean.

Keep your hands clean, wash them frequently with soap and water, or use a disinfectant.

Also, try not to touch your mouth, nose or eyes with unwashed hands (usually such touches are performed unconsciously by us on average 15 times an hour).

Carry hand sanitizer with you so that you can clean your hands in any environment. Always wash your hands before eating. Be especially careful when you are in crowded places, airports, and other public transport systems.

Minimize touching surfaces and objects located in such places, and do not touch the face. Carry disposable wipes with you and always cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze, and be sure to dispose of them after use.

Do not eat food (nuts, chips, cookies, and other snacks) from shared packages or dishes if other people have dipped their fingers in them.

Avoid greeting handshakes and kisses on the cheek until the epidemiological situation stabilizes.

At work, regularly clean the surfaces and devices that you touch (computer keyboard, General office equipment panels, smartphone screen, remotes, door handles and handrails).
