Coronavirus Disease 2019 or COVID-19 is new illness that can cause lung inflammations and respiratory problems. The disease is caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Clinical symptoms vary from ones similar to the common cold (coughs, runny nose, sore throat, sore muscles, headaches) to severe complications (pneumonia and sepsis).
COVID-19 is a relatively new disease and research is still being conducted on how the disease spreads. However, it is believed that the disease is mainly spread through respiratory droplets and close contact with an infected person. Droplets are small particles expelled through the mouth and nose when one coughs, sneezes, or speaks. These droplets may contain viruses which may cause the disease. Droplets are able to travel a certain distance (usually about 1 meter).
Droplets can stick to clothing or objects around an infected person when they sneeze or cough. However, droplet particles are quite large so they could not stay in the air for too long. Therefore, you have to use cloth masks that cover the mouth and nose in order to prevent the droplets from spreading.
Coughs and Sore Throat
High Fever
Shortness of breath
COVID-19 symptoms starts off similar to the common cold, but gradually develops more severe conditions such as pneumonia (lung inflammations that results in breathing difficulties).
