5. Facts & Figures
World Health Organization. Q&A on coronaviruses (COVID-19). 23 February 2020. Available at: https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-coronaviruses
Some people become infected but don’t develop any symptoms and don't feel unwell.
Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment
Around 1 out of every 6 people who gets COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty
breathing
Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems or
diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness
People with fever, cough and difficulty breathing should seek medical attention

6. How does COVID-19 spread?
• People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus
• The disease can spread from person to person through
small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread
when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales
• These droplets land on objects and surfaces around the
person
• Other people then catch COVID-19 by touching these
objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose or mouth
• People can also catch COVID-19 if they breathe in droplets
from a person with COVID-19 who coughs out or exhales
droplets
• Studies to date suggest that the virus that causes COVID-19
is mainly transmitted through contact with respiratory
droplets rather than through the air

8. Can CoVID-19 be caught from a person
who has no symptoms?
The main way the disease spreads is through respiratory droplets expelled by
someone who is coughing
• The risk of catching COVID-19 from someone with no symptoms at
all is very low. However, many people with COVID-19 experience
only mild symptoms.
• This is particularly true at the early stages of the disease. It is
therefore possible to catch COVID-19 from someone who has, for
example, just a mild cough and does not feel ill.

52. Flatten The Curve
Source: CDC, Drew Harris
“If you think of our health care system
as a subway car and it's rush hour and
everybody wants to get on the car
once, they start piling up at the door”
Drew Harris
“They pile up on the platform. There's
just not enough room in the car to take
care of everybody, to accommodate
everybody. That's the system that is
overwhelmed. It just can't handle it,
and people wind up not getting
services that they need”
Drew Harris
The Importance of Social Distancing
• To keep hospitals and doctors’ offices from becoming overwhelmed with sick patients,
the ultimate goal for public health authorities is to flatten this curve.
• Social distancing measures can make a serious impact when they’re implemented
early, so that, over time, all patients get the resources they need.

57. Roche receives emergency FDA approval
for coronavirus test
• The test is intended to detect SARS-CoV-2,
the virus that causes COVID-19 disease when
swab samples are taken from patients who
meet the clinical criteria of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
• Results come back in three and a half hours,
Roche said.
