About the disease
What is Coronavirus?
The new coronavirus is officially called SARS-CoV-2, which stands for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. An infection with this virus can lead to coronavirus disease 19 or COVID-19.
SARS-CoV-2 is related to the coronavirus SARS-CoV, which caused another kind of coronavirus disease in 2002 to 2003. However, from what we know so far, SARS-CoV-2 is different from other viruses and including other coronaviruses.
The evidence shows that SARS-CoV-2 may spread more easily and cause life-threatening illness in some people. Like other coronaviruses, it can survive in the air and on surfaces long enough to infect someone. However, SARS-CoV-2 multiplies faster in the body even when you don’t have symptoms. Additionally, you can pass on the virus even if you never get symptoms at all.
Some people have mild to moderate symptoms only, while others have severe COVID-19 symptoms. Here are the medical facts to help us understand how to best protect ourselves and others.

Get Protected
Be Confident
Use Mask
The World Health Organization (WHO)Trusted Source advises that wearing a mask may not be the best way to prevent getting an infection. Healthcare workers must wear masks and other protective gear because they are in closer contact with people with COVID-19 and the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Wearing a mask alone will not prevent you from getting a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Careful handwashing and social (physical) distancing must also be followed.
Stay away from others
If you are carrying the SARS-CoV-2 virus, it will be found in high amounts in your spit (sputum). This can happen even if you do not have symptoms. Social distancing means staying home and working remotely when possible. If you must go out for necessities, keep a distance of 6 feet from other people. You can transmit the virus by speaking to someone in close contact to you.
Being in a group or gathering makes it more likely that you will be in close contact with someone. This includes avoiding all religious places of worship, as you may have to sit or stand too close to another congregant. It also includes congregating at parks or beaches.
Take medical help
Call your doctor if you think you or a family member may have a SARS-CoV-2 infection or if you have any symptoms of COVID-19. Do not go to a medical clinic or hospital. This helps to avoid spreading the virus.
Be extra watchful for worsening symptoms if you or your loved one has an underlying condition that may give you a higher chance of getting severe COVID-19, such as :
- * Asthma or other lung disease
- * Diabetes
- * Heart disease
- * Low immune system
The CDCTrusted Source advises getting emergency medical attention if you have COVID-19 warning signs. These include:
- * Difficulty breathing
- * Pain or pressure in the chest
- * Blue-tinged lips or face
- * Confusion
- * Drowsiness and inability to wake.

Prevention
Wash your hands frequently
Use warm water and soap and rub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Work the lather to your wrists, between your fingers, and under your fingernails.
Maintain social distancing
Social distancing means staying home and working remotely when possible. If you must go out for necessities, keep a distance of 6 feet from other people. You can transmit the virus by speaking to someone in close contact to you.
Avoid touching face
Avoid touching any part of your face or head including your mouth, nose, and eyes. Also avoid biting your fingernails. This can give SARS-CoV-2 a chance to go from your hands into your body.
Using face mask
SARS-CoV-2 is found in high amounts in the nose and mouth. This means it can be carried by air droplets to other people when you cough or sneeze. It can also land on hard surfaces and stay there for up to 3 days. Use a tissue or sneeze into your elbow to keep your hands as clean as possible. Wash your hands carefully after you sneeze or cough, regardless.
Seek medical care
Call your doctor if you have any symptoms. Stay home until you recover. Avoid sitting, sleeping, or eating with your loved ones even if live in the same home. Wear a mask and wash your hands as much as possible. If you need urgent medical care, wear a mask and let them know you may have COVID-19.
