This document discusses the COVID-19 pandemic. It defines a pandemic as an epidemic that has spread over a large region, such as multiple countries or worldwide. The coronavirus pandemic originated as an epidemic but spread globally, infecting more people and areas. A pandemic crosses international borders and affects a larger population than an epidemic. The document provides details on viruses, viral infections, the uniqueness of coronaviruses, those most vulnerable, prevention methods like social distancing, and precautions against the virus.

COVID-19

2. A Pandemic is an
epidemic that has
spread throughout
an entire area,
such as a country,
continent , or
throughout the
world.
A widespread
epidemic is called
Pandemic.
WHAT IS
PANDEMIC?

4. When the regional
or local infection
affects more
people and area it
becomes
Pandemic.
Infection travel
rate grows
exponentially.
Pandemic crosses
the borders and
affects larger
population.
WHEN DOES
EPIDEMIC
BECOMES
PANDEMIC?

5. EPIDEMIC
Affects less area
Affects less people
It’s national level
crisis
PANDEMIC
Affects more area
Affects more
people
It’s international
level crisis DIFFERENCE B/W
EPIDEMIC AND
PANDEMIC

7. Parasitic organism
Exists amorphously
Without cell
membrane
Cannot replicate
without host cell
WHAT IS VIRUS?

8.  When the body acquires a virus, a
few things may happen.
 If the immune system is stronger
than the virus, the body may be
able to kill the virus, leaving the
person who had the virus none the
wiser.
 If the immune system doesn’t kill
the virus but is able to keep it at
bay, stopping the person from
feeling the symptoms associated
with a viral infection, they may
carry and transmit the virus, while
not realizing that they have the
virus in their body.
WHAT IS VIRAL
INFECTION?

9.  If the immune system is not strong
enough to kill the virus, the person
may acquire a viral infection.
 The symptoms of a viral infection
depends on the virus itself
CONTINUE……

10.  SARS.
 West Nile.
 Measles
 Ebola.
 Polio.
 Bird Flu
WELL KNOWN
VIRUSES

11.  ‘rown’ like appearance
 causes respiratory problems
 related to one’s sinuses
 throat
 lungs and nose among other
respiratory areas
CORONA VIRUS

13.  . 80%people who become sick with
the coronavirus experience
symptoms like most people would
associate with the flu. Still, others
remain asymptomatic.
 At this time, the best of the best in
the science and medical
communities are joining forces to
discover how to prevent viruses
like COVID – 19 from reaching
dangerous proportions.
CORONA VIRUS

14.  It can be tough to understand
what is the coronavirus in humans,
and how it’s different from other
illnesses, such as the flu.
 One of the key pieces of answering
the question of what is coronavirus
in humans is understanding the
incubation period.
 The incubation period of
coronavirus is long – up to
fourteen days.
UNIQUENESS OF
CORONA VIRUS

15.  This means that coronavirus signs
and symptoms may not show up
for two weeks after a person has
been exposed.
 During incubation period, there
are no signs and symptoms
 This means that the person would
be able to pass the virus along to
others, even though they’re
showing no symptoms of
coronavirus.
CONTINUE…

16.  Luckily, most infants and children
either carry the virus and don’t
show coronavirus symptoms in
humans, or get a mild case of the
virus
 Immunocompromised are mostly
affected
 Corona virus may affect infants and
young children’s as well.
 Children and babies are especially
resilient to coronavirus symptoms
CONTINUE….

17.  Each of us has a personal
responsibility to help prevent/limit
the spread of COVID-19 (or any
other dangerous virus/bacteria) to
other members of the population,
including family and friends.
 Depending on where you may live,
advised to stay home and avoid
contact with others to survive this
pandemic – especially large
crowds.
PREVENTION

19.  This is a relatively new
phenomenon, recently coined –
social distancing.
 The purpose of social distancing is
to simply limit social contact as a
means of preventing viruses – from
spreading through social contact.
 Social Distancing is defined as
proactively choosing to remain a
distance of at least 6 feet between
you and another person.
 The distance is important because
that is the general reach of
droplets from a cough or sneeze.
SOCIAL
DISTANCING

21.  The elderly people(over 65 years of
age )
 the very young, the infirm, or
those with compromised immune
systems – remain ultra-cautious
because while it is known how to
avoid a virus, what causes
coronavirus, the incubation period
of coronavirus still remains
unknown.
INDIVIDUALS
MOST
VULNERABLE

22.  COVID-19 is a virus that is easily
spread as it can ‘live’ on ‘surfaces’
for extended periods of time –
although, at this moment, it is not
fully understood how long.
 Wash your hands with warm
water and soap for at least 20
seconds.
 Wash your hands with 60%
alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
 Do not touch your nose, mouth, or
your eyes.
 Try to stay 2 meter apart from
others.
PRECAUTIONS
REQUIRED TO
OVOID THIS
VIRUS

23.  It is critical to wash your hands
with soap and warm water for at
least 20 seconds until more is
understood about how and what is
coronavirus in humans ….
 when returning home after being
in a public place.
 After coughing or sneezing.
 When your hands are visibly dirty.
CONTINUE…

24.  Do not panic
 Keep yourself healthy thorough
physical activities nd boost
your immune system
 Ovoid visiting crowdy places
 Keep your health record
accesable on paper or online
 Maintain a reguler sleep
pattern
 Stay fit stay positive
