what is corona virus/ disease how is it diagnosed can it be prevented how is it treated/cured?
Ans) Coronavirus disease (COVID-2019) is an infectious disease
caused by a new virus that had not been previously identified in
humans.
The virus causes respiratory illness (like the flu) with symptoms
such as a cough, fever and in more severe cases, pneumonia. You can
protect yourself by washing your hands frequently and avoiding
touching your face.
Diagnosis:
If you develop symptoms of infection with the new coronavirus,
called the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), contact your doctor.
Tell him or her about any recent travels, especially international
travel. Also let your doctor know if you've had close contact with
anyone who has been diagnosed with the new coronavirus.
Your doctor may take samples, including a sample of saliva (sputum), a nasal swab and a throat swab, to send to the CDC for testing.
Treatment:
Currently, no antiviral medication is recommended to treat
infection with the new coronavirus. Treatment is directed at
relieving symptoms and may include:
Pain relievers
Cough syrup or medication
Rest
Fluid intake
If your doctor thinks you can be treated at home, he or she may
give you special instructions, such as to isolate yourself as much
as possible from family while you're sick and to stay home for a
period of time. If you're very ill, you may need to be treated in
the hospital.
Prevention:
- Wash your hands frequently
Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand rub if your hands are not visibly dirty. Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub eliminates the virus if it is on your hands.
- Practice respiratory hygiene
When coughing and sneezing, cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow
or tissue – discard tissue immediately into a closed bin and clean
your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water. Covering
your mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing prevent the spread
of germs and viruses. If you sneeze or cough into your hands, you
may contaminate objects or people that you touch.
- Maintain social distancing
Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and
other people, particularly those who are coughing, sneezing and
have a fever.
When someone who is infected with a respiratory disease, like 2019-nCoV, coughs or sneezes they project small droplets containing the virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the virus.
- Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
Hands touch many surfaces which can be contaminated with the virus. If you touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your contaminated hands, you can transfer the virus from the surface to yourself.
If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical
care early
Tell your health care provider if you have traveled in an area in
China where 2019-nCoV has been reported, or if you have been in
close contact with someone with who has traveled from China and has
respiratory symptoms.
Whenever you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing it’s important to seek medical attention promptly as this may be due to a respiratory infection or other serious condition. Respiratory symptoms with fever can have a range of causes, and depending on your personal travel history and circumstances, 2019-nCoV could be one of them.
If you have mild respiratory symptoms and no travel history to or within China
If you have mild respiratory symptoms and no travel history to or within China, carefully practice basic respiratory and hand hygiene and stay home until you are recovered, if possible.
As a general precaution, practice general hygiene measures when
visiting live animal markets, wet markets or animal product
markets
Ensure regular hand washing with soap and potable water after
touching animals and animal products; avoid touching eyes, nose or
mouth with hands; and avoid contact with sick animals or spoiled
animal products. Strictly avoid any contact with other animals in
the market (e.g., stray cats and dogs, rodents, birds, bats). Avoid
contact with potentially contaminated animal waste or fluids on the
soil or structures of shops and market facilities.
Avoid consumption of raw or undercooked animal products
Handle raw meat, milk or animal organs with care, to avoid
cross-contamination with uncooked foods, as per good food safety
practices.
