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 on COVID-19 from its symptoms and treatment to how it spreads and can be prevented. COVID-19 is a new disease caused by a coronavirus that was first identified in Wuhan, China in late 2019. Its symptoms are similar to the cold or flu but can sometimes cause pneumonia or breathing difficulties. The virus spreads mainly through droplets from coughs or sneezes and can be transmitted by touching contaminated surfaces. Older individuals and those with pre-existing medical conditions are at higher risk. There is no specific treatment but mild cases are treated with fever reducers. Public health measures like handwashing and social distancing can help slow the spread.
The document provides information on COVID-19 from experts, including that coronaviruses can cause illness in humans and animals ranging from the common cold to SARS and MERS. COVID-19 affects the upper respiratory tract and is spread through droplets from coughing or sneezing. While the mortality rate is lower than SARS or MERS, those over 60 and with preexisting conditions are at higher risk. Proper handwashing and avoiding touching the face are recommended to prevent spread.
Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that can cause respiratory illnesses in humans and animals. COVID-19 is a new strain identified in 2019 that has resulted in a global pandemic. Common symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath, while some cases progress to pneumonia or organ failure. The virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets from coughing, sneezing, or talking in close proximity. There is currently no vaccine, though management focuses on treatment of symptoms, isolation of infected individuals, and experimental measures. Prevention emphasizes hand washing, physical distancing, and covering coughs/sneezes.

2. PROTECTIVE MEASURES
AGAINST COVID-19
Basic protective measures against the
new coronavirus
Stay aware of the latest information
on the COVID-19 outbreak, available on the
WHO website and through your national
and local public health authority. COVID-19
is still affecting mostly people in China with
some outbreaks in other countries. Most
people who become infected experience
mild illness and recover, but it can be more
severe for others.Take care of your health
and protect others by doing the following:
Wash your hands frequently
Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands
with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash
them with soap and water.
Why?Washing your hands with soap and
water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills
viruses that may be on your hands.
Maintain social distancing
Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance
between yourself and anyone who is
coughing or sneezing.
Why?When someone coughs or sneezes
they spray small liquid droplets from their
nose or mouth which may contain virus. If
you are too close, you can breathe in the
droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the
person coughing has the disease.
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can
pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands
can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or
mouth. From there, the virus can enter your
body and can make you sick.
3. PROTECTIVE MEASURES
AGAINST COVID-19
Practice respiratory hygiene
Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene.This means covering your
mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze.Then dispose of the used
tissue immediately.
Why? Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene you protect the people around you
from viruses such as cold, flu andCOVID-19.
If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early
Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention
and call in advance. Follow the directions of your local health authority.
Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on the situation in your
area. Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health
facility.This will also protect you and help prevent spread of viruses and other infections.
4. Stay informed and follow advice given by your
healthcare provider
Stay informed on the latest developments about COVID-
19. Follow advice given by your healthcare provider, your
national and local public health authority or your
employer on how to protect yourself and others from
COVID-19.
Why? National and local authorities will have the most
up to date information on whether COVID-19 is
spreading in your area. They are best placed to advise on
what people in your area should be doing to protect
themselves.
5. PROTECTIVE MEASURES
AGAINST COVID-19
Protection measures for persons who are in or have recently visited
(past 14 days) areas where COVID-19 is spreading
Follow the guidance outlined above.
Stay at home if you begin to feel unwell, even with mild symptoms
such as headache and slight runny nose, until you recover.
Why? Avoiding contact with others and visits to medical facilities will
allow these facilities to operate more effectively and help protect you
and others from possibleCOVID-19 and other viruses.
If you develop fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical
advice promptly as this may be due to a respiratory infection or other
serious condition.Call in advance and tell your provider of any recent
travel or contact with travelers.
Why? Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly
direct you to the right health facility.This will also help to prevent
possible spread of COVID-19 and other viruses.
6. Do not believe the following myths
Cold weather and snow CANNOT kill the new coronavirus.
1.There is no reason to believe that cold weather can kill the new coronavirus or other
diseases.The normal human body temperature remains around 36.5°C to 37°C,
regardless of the external temperature or weather.The most effective way to protect
yourself against the new coronavirus is by frequently cleaning your hands with
alcohol-based hand rub or washing them with soap and water.
2.Taking a hot bath does not prevent the new coronavirus disease
Taking a hot bath will not prevent you from catching COVID-19.Your normal body
temperature remains around 36.5°C to 37°C, regardless of the temperature of your
bath or shower. Actually, taking a hot bath with extremely hot water can be harmful,
as it can burn you.The best way to protect yourself against COVID-19 is by frequently
cleaning your hands. By doing this you eliminate viruses that may be on your hands
and avoid infection that coud occur by then touching your eyes, mouth, and nose.
7. 3.The new coronavirus cannot be transmitted through goods
manufactured in China or any country reporting COVID-19 cases.
Even though the new coronavirus can stay on surfaces for a few hours or
up to several days (depending on the type of surface), it is very unlikely
that the virus will persist on a surface after it has been moved, travelled,
and exposed to different conditions and temperatures. If you think a
surface may be contaminated, use a disinfectant to clean it.After
touching it, clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash
them with soap and water
4.The new coronavirus CANNOT be transmitted through mosquito
bites.
To date there has been no information nor evidence to suggest that the
new coronavirus could be transmitted by mosquitoes.The new
coronavirus is a respiratory virus which spreads primarily through droplets
generated when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or through
droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose.To protect yourself, clean
your hands frequently with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with
soap and water. Also, avoid close contact with anyone who is coughing
and sneezing.
8. 5. Are hand dryers effective in killing the new coronavirus?
No. Hand dryers are not effective in killing the 2019-nCoV.To protect
yourself against the new coronavirus, you should frequently clean
your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap
and water. Once your hands are cleaned, you should dry them
thoroughly by using paper towels or a warm air dryer.
6. Can an ultraviolet disinfection lamp kill the new coronavirus?
UV lamps should not be used to sterilize hands or other areas of skin
as UV radiation can cause skin irritation.
7. Can spraying alcohol or chlorine all over your body kill the new
coronavirus?
No. Spraying alcohol or chlorine all over your body will not kill viruses
that have already entered your body. Spraying such substances can
be harmful to clothes or mucous membranes (i.e. eyes, mouth). Be
aware that both alcohol and chlorine can be useful to disinfect
surfaces, but they need to be used under appropriate
recommendations.
9. 8. Can pets at home spread the new coronavirus (2019-nCoV)?
At present, there is no evidence that companion animals/pets such as
dogs or cats can be infected with the new coronavirus. However, it is
always a good idea to wash your hands with soap and water after
contact with pets.This protects you against various common bacteria
such as E.coli and Salmonella that can pass between pets and humans.
9. Do vaccines against pneumonia protect you against the new
coronavirus?
No.Vaccines against pneumonia, such as pneumococcal vaccine and
Haemophilus influenza type B (Hib) vaccine, do not provide protection
against the new coronavirus.The virus is so new and different that it
needs its own vaccine. Researchers are trying to develop a vaccine
against 2019-nCoV, and WHO is supporting their efforts.Although
these vaccines are not effective against 2019-nCoV, vaccination against
respiratory illnesses is highly recommended to protect your health.
10. 10. Can regularly rinsing your nose with saline help prevent infection with
the new coronavirus?
No.There is no evidence that regularly rinsing the nose with saline has
protected people from infection with the new coronavirus. There is some
limited evidence that regularly rinsing nose with saline can help people recover
more quickly from the common cold. However, regularly rinsing the nose has
not been shown to prevent respiratory infections.
11. Can eating garlic help prevent infection with the new coronavirus?
Garlic is a healthy food that may have some antimicrobial properties. However,
there is no evidence from the current outbreak that eating garlic has protected
people from the new coronavirus.
12. Does the new coronavirus affect older people, or are younger people also
susceptible?
People of all ages can be infected by the new coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Older
people, and people with pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma,
diabetes, heart disease) appear to be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill
with the virus. WHO advises people of all ages to take steps to protect
themselves from the virus, for example by following good hand hygiene and
good respiratory hygiene.
11. 13. Are antibiotics effective in preventing and treating the new
coronavirus?
No, antibiotics do not work against viruses, only bacteria.The new
coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is a virus and, therefore, antibiotics should not be
used as a means of prevention or treatment. However, if you are
hospitalized for the 2019-nCoV, you may receive antibiotics because
bacterial co-infection is possible.
14. Are there any specific medicines to prevent or treat the new
coronavirus?
To date, there is no specific medicine recommended to prevent or treat the
new coronavirus (2019-nCoV). However, those infected with the virus should
receive appropriate care to relieve and treat symptoms, and those with
severe illness should receive optimized supportive care. Some specific
treatments are under investigation, and will be tested through clinical trials.
WHO is helping to accelerate research and development efforts with a range
or partners.
