All You want to know about COVID19

Coronavirus disease (COVID19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.

Most  people infected with the COVID19 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.
