Corona virus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered corona virus.
Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face.
The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).
At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However, there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments. WHO will continue to provide updated information as soon as clinical findings become available.
This document provides information about COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) including its taxonomy, history, structure, symptoms, treatment, and preventive measures. Some key points:

- Symptoms range from mild (fever, cough) to severe (pneumonia, respiratory distress). The virus spreads through respiratory droplets from coughing/sneezing.
- There is no specific treatment, only supportive care. Preventive measures include hand washing, social distancing, and use of face masks. Proper hy
This document provides guidelines on universal precautions and general safety for employees who may come into contact with infectious materials. It discusses key topics including:
- Establishing practices to protect from blood and bodily fluids through OSHA standards.
- Following safety measures like proper hand washing, use of personal protective equipment, safe disposal of contaminated items, and receiving hepatitis B vaccines and training.
- Understanding common bloodborne pathogens like hepatitis B, C, and HIV and how they are transmitted through contact with infectious bodily fluids.
Universal precautions are everyday practices to prevent exposure to bloodborne pathogens. This includes using protective equipment like gloves, proper handwashing, and care when eating or applying cosmetics where body fluids may be present. Surfaces contaminated with blood or fluids should be cleaned and decontaminated according to proper procedures. Germs can spread from person to person or from contaminated objects. Proper hygiene and cleaning practices are important to prevent the spread of diseases. All childcare workers should be trained in universal precautions and follow precautions, like wearing gloves, during any activities with potential contact with blood or body fluids.
This document provides an overview of infection control and prevention for healthcare workers.
