When the earliest reports of a
coronavirus outbreak strike the airwaves in January (early), many people had
earlier caught the disease around or in the city of Wuhan. The coronavirus has
spread rapidly, and the rate of infectionsincreased day by day, in Wuhan and
other cities of China isolated a huge number of affected persons and quarantined
upon 50 million residents. Coronavirus has spread to move more than twenty
states. The World Health Organization WHO proclaimed the disease a “Public
Health Emergency of International Concern”.
Coronaviruses are transmitted between people and animals. Detailed studies found
that SARC (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) was transferred from civet cats to
human beings while MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) from Arabian camel to
humans. Initial symptoms of coronavirus contain fever, dry cough, muscle pain
and fatigue. While other coronavirus symptoms include cough, fever, running
nose, sore throat, headache and common feeling of illness (unwell).Various known
coronaviruses are circulating in many animals that have not affected the humans
yet. In severe coronavirus cases sometimes, infection cause severe acute
respiratory syndrome, kidney failure which leads to death of a person.
Coronavirus is still in its early days, and its nature of characteristics will
take time to interpret. The scale of coronavirus final and conclude impact will
rely on only how transmissible it reveals itself to be and how fatal it is in
those who sick-----properties that cannot be exactly calculated at this phase.
There is a clear probability that coronavirus may not be carried time to stop
and prevent a huge global outbreak. That’s why countries should start arranging
for that prospect now.
EVALUATING THE RISKS OF CORONAVIRUS WILL GET DATA AND TIME:
The fast rise in cases in China recommends that coronavirus is transmitted human
to human, while scientific information about the patterns of its growth around
most of the affected are not yet exactly available to the governments other than
China or World Health Organization (WHO). In past epidemic of respiratory
disease, the rate of growth has slowed down, as people became more knowledgeable
of the risks and took some steps to secure and protect themselves by covering
their coughs, washing their hands, canceling large gatherings, staying home if
sick and so on.But coronavirus continue to grow and spread quickly and widely,
even scientists cannot judge accurately Controlling the growth of the virus
needs both medical measures and public health. The coronavirus is physically a
large virus, at just 125 nanometers with a surface of spike projections, too big
to remain alive in the air for hours or it can travel more than a few feet. Same
as influenza, but this coronavirus can spread through direct and indirect, both
contacts. Direct contact takes place through the physical shifting of the
microorganism among family members and friends throughclose association with
oral secretions. While indirect contact occurs when effected or an infected
person sneezes or coughs, spreading coronavirus droplets on the surface of near
areas, including bedrail, laptop, smartphone and knobs.
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS
Strongest and powerful measures may be general education about the better ways
to avoid infection, for example keep away from infected persons, and avoid
physical contact with them, wearing face masks and arrange proper hand hygiene.
China is taking these precautionary measures with public health information
(broadcast) transmit by radio or television or multiple means. These steps can
secure everyone as well as families.
Recently there is no vaccine to prevent coronavirus infection. The better way to
protect themselves from infection is to avoid being vulnerable to this virus.
Wash your hands:
Hand hygiene is compulsory to avoid this virus to some extent. First wet your
hands with clean running water, and use germs killing soap thoroughly including
the back sides, between fingers and under nail areas also. Scrub your hands for
20 seconds at least then rinse. If water and soap are unavailable, use sanitizer
that are alcohol based with minimum 60% alcohol.
Cover your mouth and nose:
During coughing and sneezing cover your nose and mouth with a handkerchief or
tissue then threw it in the dust bin and wash your hands properly with soap. If
you don’t have a tissueor handkerchief than use your elbow not sneeze or cough
in yourhands. Avoid touching your nose, eyes and mouth with dirty and unwashed
hands.
Use Face masks:
Face masks provide some protection because they stop and block liquid droplets.
But they don’t block little aerosol particles that can enter through the
material of the mask. In wearing mask eyes are exposed and there is a
confirmation that some viruses can affect and infect an individual through the
eyes.
Get medical help:
If a person has fever, shortness of breath and cough discuss your travel history
with health care provider. Avoid close contact with sick people.
In affected areas if visiting live markets then avoid direct and unsafe contact
with live animals. If a person in an affected area then he should avoid eating
undercooked or raw animal products and show care when contacting and handling
raw meat, milk or organs of animals to keep away cross-contamination with
uncooked foodstuffs.
Disinfect and clean routinely touched objects and surfaces using a regular
household cleaning wipe or spray.
PROTECT YOURSELF WHILE TRAVELING:
Everybody has recommended avoiding unnecessary travels to China and Chinese
officials have stopped, and closed travel to and from Wuhan and many other
cities in Hubei province. If a person must travel to China, then first discuss
it with your medical practitioner and keep away from other people who are
infected and avoid animals, going to meat market and animal markets.
SOME REMEDIES FOR CORONAVIRUSES:
There are no specific medications for illnesses caused by human coronaviruses.
Many people with common human being coronavirus sickness will recover on their
own, while person can do something to reduce their symptoms.
Use fever and pain medications.
Take hot shower because it helps ease a cough and sore throat.
If a person is lightly sick, then he should:
Stay at home and take some rest.
Drink plenty of liquids.
Human coronavirus can may be caused by lower respiratory tract sickness like
bronchitis and pneumonia. This is more common in those people who have
cardiopulmonary disease, individual with weakened immune systems, older adults
and babies.
