ALKALI AMANA’S BOARD : COVID-19
COVID-19
We shall in due time continue with the Rocky episode, but for now, let's talk something else.
The global pandemic keeping everyone shut at the dining table - the Coronavirus. It is enough to hear of its effects, but the real question is - What is Coronavirus?
Below, I provide us with a report by the World Health Organization about the virus:
Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV).
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a new strain that was discovered in 2019 and has not been previously identified in humans.
Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.
Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.
Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs.
Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.
Attached also is a link for more information on the virus - https://www.who.int/health-topics/coronavirus
I hope this helps to keep us abreast and knowledgeable. Have a great week!
