It came from a large family of viruses that are common from people and several kinds of animals like cattle, camels, bats, and cats. Just like Mers-Cov and Sars-Cov, animal coronaviruses can infect people and spread people-to-people. With further studies and mortality rate of 3.4% in those it has infected, CoVid-19 has been proven deadly and can cause severe illness and respiratory issues.

The people infected with coronavirus will most likely experience mild symptoms to severe illnesses and death. Older people and those people with underlying medical conditions like diabetes, lung diseases and cancer are most prone to this virus. According to the CDC, the symptoms of coronavirus will most likely appear on the first 2 days to 14 days after exposure. The most common symptoms of coronavirus are;

In some cases, other patients may not have symptoms but are still infected by the virus. It is important to consult your doctor immediately if you are feeling unwell or has developed concerning or severe symptoms.

How Does It Spread

According to the studies of the health professionals, coronavirus spread mainly through person-to-person contact. An infected person can spread the virus through the droplets of their saliva or discharge from their nose when they cough or sneeze. Furthermore, infected people can also easily spread the virus by touching objects or surfaces in public areas or most populated areas of a home. People who are not infected can become infected by touching those contaminated areas and unconsciously touching their eyes, nose, or mouth which can lead to the virus getting into their body.

Though the virus has been spreading quickly, there are still ways you can do to protect yourself and others from coronavirus.
