Editor's Notes
- What is COVID-19?COVID-19 stands for "coronavirus disease 2019." It is caused by a virus called SARS-CoV-2. The virus first appeared in late 2019 and quickly spread around the world. People with COVID-19 can have fever, cough, trouble breathing, and other symptoms. Problems with breathing happen when the infection affects the lungs and causes pneumonia (figure 1). Most people who get COVID-19 will not get severely ill. But some do. In many areas, people have been told to stay home and away from other people. This is to try to slow the spread of the virus.
- How is COVID-19 spread?The virus that causes COVID-19 mainly spreads from person to person. This usually happens when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks near other people. Doctors also think it is possible to get sick if you touch a surface that has the virus on it and then touch your mouth, nose, or eyes. This is similar to how the flu spreads, but the virus that causes COVID-19 spreads more easily. A person can be infected, and spread the virus to others, even without having any symptoms. This is why keeping people apart is one of the best ways to slow the spread. It is also possible for the virus to spread from an infected person to an animal, like a pet. But this seems to be uncommon. There is no evidence that a person could get the virus from a pet.
- What should I do if I have symptoms?If you have a fever, cough, trouble breathing, or a combination of other COVID-19 symptoms, call your doctor or nurse. They will ask about your symptoms. They might also ask about any recent travel and whether you have been around anyone who might be sick. If your symptoms are not severe, it is best to call before you go in. The staff can tell you what to do and whether you need to be seen in person. Many people with only mild symptoms should stay home and avoid other people until they get better. If you do need to go to the clinic or hospital, cover your nose and mouth with cloth. This helps protect other people. The staff might also have you wait someplace away from other people. If you are severely ill and need to go to the clinic or hospital right away, you should still call ahead. This way the staff can care for you while taking steps to protect others.
- Is there a test for the virus that causes COVID-19?Yes. If your doctor or nurse suspects you have COVID-19, they might take a swab from inside your nose and send it to a lab for testing. If you are coughing up mucus, they might also test a sample of the mucus. These tests can help your doctor figure out if you have COVID-19 or another illness. In some areas, it might not be possible to test everyone who might have been exposed to the virus. If your doctor cannot test you, they might tell you to stay home, avoid other people, and call if your symptoms get worse. There is also a blood test that can show if a person has had COVID-19 in the past. Over time, this could help experts understand how many people were infected without knowing it. This test is not yet available everywhere. Experts are also using blood tests to study whether a person who has had COVID-19 could get it again.
- How is COVID-19 treated?There is no known specific treatment for COVID-19. Many people will be able to stay home while they get better. But people with serious symptoms or other health problems might need to go to the hospital. ●Mild illness – Mild illness means you might have symptoms like fever and cough, but you do not have trouble breathing. Most people with COVID-19 have mild illness and can rest at home until they get better. This usually takes about 2 weeks, but it's not the same for everyone. If you are recovering from COVID-19, it's important to stay home and "self-isolate" until your doctor or nurse tells you it's safe to go back to your normal activities. Self-isolation means staying apart from other people, even the people you live with. When you can stop self-isolation will depend on how long it has been since you had symptoms, and in some cases, whether you have had a negative test (showing that the virus is no longer in your body). ●Severe illness – If you have more severe illness with trouble breathing, you might need to stay in the hospital, possibly in the intensive care unit (also called the "ICU"). While you are there, you will most likely be in a special isolation room. Only medical staff will be allowed in the room, and they will have to wear special gowns, gloves, masks, and eye protection. The doctors and nurses can monitor and support your breathing and other body functions and make you as comfortable as possible. You might need extra oxygen to help you breathe easily. If you are having a very hard time breathing, you might need to be put on a ventilator. This is a machine to help you breathe. Doctors are studying several different treatments to learn whether they might work to treat COVID-19. In certain cases, doctors might recommend these treatments or being part of a clinical trial. A clinical trial is a scientific study that tests new medicines to see how well they work. Do not try any new medicines or treatments without talking to a doctor.

- OUTBREAK! THE CURRENT corona virus threat is on the news everywhere. The children were hearing about it. My teenage son was naturally curious about viruses, mutations, origins and what was happening. Taking the opportunity, I decided to explore the issue and connect it to Islam. It’s important to show that Islam has a view on all issues and gives guidance.وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ تِبْيَٰنًا لِّكُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ‘And We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the Muslims.’ (an-Nahl 89)1. Controlling disease spreadThe images of cities on lockdown, scanning travellers at airports and stations and empty streets can be scary. But this is not new for Muslims. When it comes to highly contagious communicable diseases, Islam has given guidance. Whilst they probably didn’t have novel coronavirus in the time of the Prophet ﷺ, they did have the plague. The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you hear about it (the plague) in a land that you are in, do not run away from it, and if you hear that it broke out in a certain land, do not enter that land." (Bukhari) The second part of this hadith is pretty obvious, but the first part is more difficult to realise. The natural response of a person confronted with a highly contagious disease is to run. However, the hadith is clear not to run. What would motivate a person not to run though?The Prophet ﷺ gave an incentive like no other. He said: ‘plague was a punishment which Allah used to send on whom He wished, but Allah made it a blessing for the believers. None (among the believers) remains patient in a land in which plague has broken out and considers that nothing will befall him except what Allah has ordained for him, but that Allah will grant him a reward similar to that of a martyr.’ (Bukhari)The reward of the shuhada (the martyrs) is amongst the greatest rewards of all in Islam and it is given to the one who is patient and does not leave the area of plague. This is tied with Islamic concepts of tawaqqul and knowing that life and death lie solely in His ﷻ hands. But it’s not just quarantine that Islam institutes. Basic hygiene that prevents transmission is well known. ‘Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sneezed, he would cover his mouth with his hand or a piece of cloth...’ (at-Tirmidhi).Washing hands, wudhu, ghusl and personal hygiene are all strong aspects of Islam. Islam, therefore, lays down the basis of controlling disease spread.2. Prevention is better than cure.How much of what we are seeing is man-made? In Islam there is an understanding of halal and tayyib (pure). This applies to what we eat, how we farm, how we look after and transport livestock etc. There is certainly Divine wisdom in this, that we may or may not be aware of.Many practices these days are far from normal. Back in the 90’s there was an outbreak of mad cow disease. It was later shown to be the result of producers, under pressure to make cheaper meat, grinding up the remains of dead livestock and feeding it back to their herds to save money on grain. Really! Did no one think that turning herbivores into cannibals was going to be a bad thing to do? 3. Punishment, test or reminder?The inevitable question that always arises is why? Is this Allah’s ﷻ punishment on a people for their disobedience and oppression upon others? Especially considering what the Chinese government is doing to Uyghur Muslims? Is He ﷻ testing the Chinese people so that they may return to His remembrance? Is He ﷻ reminding the Muslims of His power? Or responding to the dua of the oppressed? Or highlighting how the Muslim rulers have truly failed the Uyghurs and how utterly useless they are? Or that we all too need to take heed before trials befall us?It could be any or all of these. A Muslim should always take heed. Be fearful of Allah’s ﷻ punishment, be reminded of his shortcomings and push ahead to bear his responsibilities according to his capabilities. 4. Finding a cure.The Prophet ﷺ said, ‘“There is no disease that Allah has sent down except that He also has sent down its treatment.’ (Bukhari). Unfortunately, we do not think of Muslims at the forefront of medicine. But there was a time that we were. This ummah invented hospitals and trained doctors. The state and rulers saw it their duty to look after their citizens. Khalifah Umar al Khattab (ra) said: ‘If a lost sheep under my care were to die on the banks of the Euphrates, I would expect Allah the Exalted to question me about it on the Day of Resurrection.” (Ḥilyat al-Awliyā’ 137)If that was his view of the animals, what do you think his concern for humans was?Our scientists were motivated by Allah’s ﷻ reward, وَمَنْ أَحْيَاهَا فَكَأَنَّمَآ أَحْيَا ٱلنَّاسَ جَمِيعًا َ‘If anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind.’ (al Maeda 32) Sadly, today in the absence of Islam, it is all about the money. ‘Third world’ and poor man’s diseases are not considered worth spending money on. At least that is, if it doesn’t spread! We’ve seen this time and time again with previous outbreaks. For instance, Ebola has been around for 40 years and vaccines could have been developed but weren’t because it was seen as an African problem. Private pharmaceutical companies only invest in that which will make them profit. It is no wonder that there is so much inequality in health where ‘the rich get the best care,’ and ‘the poor are left to die.’ConclusionThese are just some ideas that can be raised with children to show Islam’s relevance to today’s problem. To assure them, to inspire them. قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَآ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلَىٰنَا وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَSay: "Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is our Maula (Lord, Helper and Protector)." And in Allah let the believers put their trust.’ (Tauba 51)- Anonymous
- ●Avoid traveling if you can. Some experts recommend not traveling to or from certain areas where COVID-19 is spreading quickly. But any form of travel, especially if you spend time in crowded places like airports, increases your risk. If lots of people travel, it also makes it more likely that the virus will spread to more parts of the world.
- Can COVID-19 be prevented?There is not yet a vaccine to prevent COVID-19. But there are things you can do to reduce your chances of getting it. These steps are a good idea for everyone, especially if you are in an area where the infection is spreading very quickly. But they are extra important for people age 65 years or older or who have other health problems. To help protect yourself and others: ●Practice "social distancing." It's most important to avoid contact with people who are sick. But social distancing also means staying away from all people who do not live in your household. It is also called "physical distancing." Avoiding crowds is an important part of social distancing. But even small gatherings can be risky, so it's best to stay home as much as you can. When you do need to go out, such as for food or medicine, try your best to stay at least 6 feet (about 2 meters) away from other people. Some expert groups also recommend covering your face when you need to go out. (See 'What about face masks?' below.)
- ●Wash your hands with soap and water often. This is especially important after being out in public. Make sure to rub your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds, cleaning your wrists, fingernails, and in between your fingers. Then rinse your hands and dry them with a paper towel you can throw away. If you are not near a sink, you can use a hand sanitizing gel to clean your hands. The gels with at least 60 percent alcohol work the best. But it is better to wash with soap and water if you can.
- ●Avoid touching your face, especially your mouth, nose, or eyes. Why is social distancing so important?
- Why is social distancing so important?Keeping people away from each other is one of the best ways to control the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. That's because the virus can spread easily through close contact, and it's not always possible to know who is infected. In many places, schools and businesses have closed, and events have been canceled. But social distancing is not just about avoiding big crowds. It's also important to avoid any gatherings with people from outside your household, even in small groups. Many people find it helpful to stay in touch with friends and relatives in other ways, like over the phone or online. If you have outdoor space, or can take a short walk without getting near other people, it can also help to get fresh air when you are able. When experts recommend staying home, it's important to take this seriously and follow instructions as best you can. It's hard having to change your life and habits, and it's normal to want things to get back to the way they used to be. But remember, even if you do not get very sick from COVID-19, you could still spread it to others who could get very sick. If people stop social distancing too soon, more people will get sick, and it will take longer for many places like schools and businesses to reopen.
- What about face masks?When COVID-19 started to spread throughout the world, expert groups in the United States did not recommend that most people wear a face mask for protection. That's because if healthy people buy a lot of medical masks, there won't be enough for the doctors and nurses who need them. Washing your hands often and practicing social distancing are still the best ways to protect yourself and others. And experts still do not recommend that people who are not health workers wear a medical mask. But the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does now recommend covering your face when you need to leave your house. This is mostly so that if you are sick, even if you don't have any symptoms, you are less likely to spread the infection to other people. You can use cloth or a bandana to cover your mouth and nose. There are instructions online about how to make your own mask using fabric and rubber bands. Even if you cover your face, it's still important to stay home except when you need to make necessary trips out, like for food or medicine. And be sure to stay at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from other people when you do leave your home. When you take your face cover off, make sure you do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. And wash your hands after you touch the face cover. You can wash the face cover with the rest of your laundry.
- What things are NOT recommended to prevent COVID-19?There are a lot of opinions about COVID-19, including rumors about how to avoid it. But not all of this information is accurate. For example, you might have heard that you can lower your risk by using a hand dryer, rinsing out your nose with salt water, or taking antibiotics. These things do not work. There is also no evidence that taking vitamins helps.
- What should I do if someone in my home has COVID-19?If someone in your home has COVID-19, there are additional things you can do to protect yourself and others: ●Keep the sick person away from others – The sick person should stay in a separate room, and use a different bathroom if possible. They should also eat in their own room. Experts also recommend that the person stay away from pets in the house until they are better. ●Have them cover their face – The sick person should cover their nose and mouth with a cloth mask when they are in the same room as other people. If they can't use a face cover, you can help protect yourself by covering your face when you are in the room with them. ●Wash hands – Wash your hands with soap and water often (see above). ●Clean often – Here are some specific things that can help: •Wear disposable gloves when you clean. It's also a good idea to wear gloves when you have to touch the sick person's laundry, dishes, utensils, or trash. •When you do the sick person's laundry, avoid letting dirty clothes or bedding touch your body. Wash your hands and clean the outside of the washer after putting in the laundry. •Regularly clean things that are touched a lot. This includes counters, bedside tables, doorknobs, computers, phones, and bathroom surfaces. •Clean things in your home with soap and water, but also use disinfectants on appropriate surfaces. Some cleaning products work well to kill bacteria, but not viruses, so it's important to check labels. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a list of products here: www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/list-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2.
- What if I feel fine but think I was exposed?If you think you were in close contact with someone with COVID-19, but you don't have any symptoms, you should "self-quarantine" at home for at least 14 days. This means staying home as much as possible, and staying least 6 feet (2 meters) away from other people in your home. Self-quarantine is slightly different from self-isolation, which is when a person who is sick stays in a completely separate room from others. You should also monitor yourself for any symptoms. If you do start to have symptoms, call your doctor or nurse right away.
- What can I do to cope with stress and anxiety?It's normal to feel anxious or worried about COVID-19. You can take care of yourself, and your family, by trying to: ●Take breaks from the news ●Get regular exercise and eat healthy foods ●Try to find activities that you enjoy and can do at home ●Stay in touch with your friends and family members Keep in mind that most people do not get severely ill from COVID-19. It helps to be prepared, and it's important to do what you can to lower your risk and help slow the spread of the virus. But try not to panic.
- Where can I go to learn more?As we learn more about this virus, expert recommendations will continue to change. Check with your doctor or public health official to get the most updated information about how to protect yourself. For information about COVID-19 in your area, you can call your local public health office. In the United States, this usually means your city or town's Board of Health. Many states also have a "hotline" phone number you can call. You can find more information about COVID-19 at the following websites: ●United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): www.cdc.gov/COVID19 ●World Health Organization (WHO): www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019 A list of other resources from expert groups around the world is also available.
