Preliminaries Definitions & Specifications

1

COVID-19, also called coronavirus disease, is the name of the disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.

2

It is a lower respiratory tract infection, which means that most of the symptoms are felt in the chest and lungs. That’s different from colds that bring on an upper respiratory tract infection, where you get a runny nose and sinus congestion.

3

Other people can then pick up the virus by breathing in these droplets or coming into contact with surfaces that have been contaminated with the droplets (such as by touching an object and then touching parts of the face). Kids are vulnerable of getting infected quickly.

4

The average time it takes people to get sick after being exposed to the virus is about 5 days. Some people get sick faster, just a day after being exposed, while others do not fall ill for about 2 weeks, which is why the local authorities quarantine people for 14 days.

5

Common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness, dry cough, and difficulty breathing. Less common symptoms experienced include aches and pains, a runny nose, and diarrhea. Some people infected with COVID-19, however, do not show symptoms or feel sick at all.
