Coronavirus in India?

Till 5th February cases found in India are below five. Indian government having a watch on Coronavirus and more than 600 people are back in India, and luckily till now, we are safe. But that doesn't mean we should not take safety measures. The government too in no mood to take Coronavirus lightly as they know we also are populated country so it may affect us severely.

What is Coronavirus?

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that cause disease in animals. Seven, including the new virus, have made the jump to humans but most just cause common cold-like symptoms.

The officials in China say the death rate in Hubei province, the epicentre of the outbreak, is higher at 3 per cent.

This is thought to because of an initial squeeze on hospital areas.

Symptoms of the Coronavirus?

According to the WHO, symptoms of the Coronavirus are:

• A cough and sore throat
• A high temperature
• Feeling exhausted
• Trouble breathing

These symptoms are similar to other respiratory diseases, including flu and the common cold. So if you have symptoms consider the following:

• Have you visited in the last two weeks to a high-risk zone?
• Have you been in touch with someone who has?

How fast it spreads and effect?

Signs are thought to appear between two and ten days after closing the virus. 

There is also some data, as yet unconfirmed, that asymptomatic people can spread the virus - that is people who carry the virus but are not however very sick. If this is correct, it may make the virus considerably more challenging to control.

Medical help Coronavirus?

If you have visited Wuhan or Hubei Province in China (or another significantly affected area) in the last two weeks, or have been in close contact with someone who has and feel unwell, then you must visit the hospital for a general checkup.

Public Health India defines close contact as being within two to three meters of someone for 15 to 30 minutes or more or sharing a room for an extended period.

Do NOT go direct to a doctor's surgery or hospital as, if you have the virus, you risk expanding it to others.

How Coronavirus is spread and how to protect me?

Hand hygiene is the first and most important line of defence. Like cold and flu bugs, the new virus is spread via droplets when a person coughs or sneezes. 

The droplets land on surfaces and are picked up on the hands of others and spread further. People catch the virus when they touch their infected hands to their mouth, nose or eyes. So wash your hand regularly with soap.

• Carry a hand wash with you to make regular washing of hands.
• Wash your hands before you eat.
• Be especially cautious in hectic airports and other public transport systems about touching things and then touching your face.
• Bring disposable tissues with you, cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze and dispose of the tissue carefully (catch it, bin it, kill it).
• Do not give snacks from packets or bowls that others are dipping their fingers.

Use of face masks, do they work?

Paper face masks are not generally recommended by the Medical science for ordinary citizens – with good reason. 

They are ill-fitting and what protection they might initially provide soon expires. Worse, it gets instantly moist inside, providing the perfect environment for germs to thrive in. 

However, an objection to this would be if you were displaying symptoms such as coughing or sneezing – then a mask may help prevent you from spreading the virus to others in bustling locations.

In hospitals, treating patients with the virus will wear masks, but these are specialist materials, and there are strict rules they must follow to secure they remain safe and effective.

Can Coronavirus be treated?

Viral pneumonia cannot be treated with antibiotics and, for the time at least, there are no antivirals specific to this particular virus.

Other symptoms, such as fever and discomfort, will be treated using drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen. Secondary infections may be treated with antibiotics.

Who gets most effected in Coronavirus.

• Those over age 60.
• Children below the age of two. 
• People with underlying health conditions or a weakened immune system.

Deaths which has been recorded in china are over the age of 60. 

Vaccine for the Coronavirus?

There is NO VACCINE, but nothing to worry about research in all the countries are started, and we will get a perfect remedy for this deadly virus coronavirus.

Best place to sit on a plane while travelling to remain sage against Coronavirus?

The best place to sit is at a window seat in the middle of the cabin, research suggests. It is because it lessens your risk of being infected by droplets shed by people walking up and down the aisles.

Difference between a Coronavirus and a flu virus?

Coronaviruses and flu viruses might cause comparable symptoms, but genetically they are very different. 

"Flu viruses incubate very rapidly – you tend to get symptoms two to three days after being infected, but coronaviruses take much longer.
