Let’s take a look for a while on preview chap, dears. Topic of Report text today is Covid-19.

Covid-19

 Covid-19 is a new strain of coronavirus. The disease caused by the novel coronavirus first identified in Wuhan, China, has been named coronavirus disease 2019. ‘CO’ stands for corona, ‘VI’ for virus, and ‘D’ for disease. '-19' is referred to the year when the virus appeared. The Covid-19 virus is a new virus linked to the same family of viruses as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and some types of common cold.

The virus is transmitted through direct contact with respiratory droplets of an infected person (generated through coughing and sneezing), and touching surfaces contaminated with the virus. The virus may survive on surfaces for several hours, but simple disinfectants can kill it. Symptoms can include fever, cough, and shortness of breath, in more severe cases; infection can cause pneumonia or breathing difficulties. More rarely, the disease can be fatal. These symptoms are similar to the flu (influenza) or the common cold. This is why testing is required to confirm if someone has novel coronavirus.

There are some ways to prevent for Covid-19. There is common slogans which are frequent hand washing, respiratory hygiene (using disposable or washable mask), and avoid the crowd. Also, there is a vaccine for the covid-19 approaching. In addition, it is recommended that we always carry a hand sanitizer, pack of disposable tissues, and disinfecting wipes.
