Here we present 40 questions about the virus and its response, noting that the information below is taken from sources, including publications from the World Health Organization:
1- What is the Corona virus?
Corona viruses are a large group of viruses that can cause disease in animals and humans. A number of human coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from colds to more serious illnesses such as Middle East respiratory syndrome and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The recently discovered Coronavirus causes the Corvid-19 virus.
2- What is Covid 19 disease?
Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by the recently discovered coronavirus. There was no knowledge of this virus and this emerging disease before it appeared in the Chinese city of Yuhan in December 2019.
3- What are the symptoms of Covid-19 disease?
The most common symptoms of Covid-19 disease are fever, fatigue, and dry cough. Some patients may experience pain and aches, nasal congestion, colds, sore throat, or diarrhea. These symptoms are generally mild and progressive. Some people get infected without showing symptoms and without feeling sick. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment.
And the severity of the disease worsens in about 1 in 6 people who develop Covid-19 infection, who suffers from breathing difficulties. Seniors and people with basic medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illnesses. About 2% of people who contracted the disease died. People with fever, cough and breathing difficulties should consult a doctor.
4- Were there any previous expectations regarding the emergence and mutation of the Coruna virus?
There are always expectations of virus mutation based on experiences gained throughout the history of virus control and such mutations have appeared in several viruses, the most famous of which are influenza, the crown and d ‘other. But it is impossible to determine how, when and where the mutation occurs, so WHO always focuses on the importance of preparing, preparing and completing infrastructure in different countries to react quickly and respond to any epidemic or viral mutation.
5- How is Covid-19 disease spread?
People can become infected with Covid-19 disease from other people who have the virus. The disease can be spread from person to person by small droplets scattered through the nose or mouth when a person with Covid-19 coughs.
These droplets fall on objects and surfaces surrounding the person. Other people can then develop Covid-19 disease when they come into contact with these objects or surfaces and then touch their eyes, nose or mouth. People can also contract Covid-19 disease if they breathe in droplets that come out of the person with coughing or exhaling. It is therefore important to stay away from the patient by more than one meter (3 feet).
5- Can the virus causing Covid-19 be transmitted by air?
Studies to date indicate that the virus that causes Covid-19 disease is spread primarily by contact with respiratory droplets rather than by air.
6- Can a person get sick from someone asymptomatic?
The main method of transmission of the disease is the respiratory droplets that a person secretes when they cough. The risk of Covid-19 disease is decreased by an asymptomatic person. But many people with the disease have only mild symptoms. This is especially true in the early stages of the disease. Therefore, it is possible to get Covid-19 disease from someone who has a mild cough and does not feel bad. WHO is evaluating ongoing research into the period of Covid-19 transmission and will continue to publish the latest findings.
7- Can a person be infected with Covid-19 disease through the stool of a person suffering from the disease?
The risk of transmission of Covid-19 disease through the stool of an infected person is limited. Although initial investigations indicate that the virus may be present in the feces in some cases, its spread by this route is not a major feature of the epidemic.
WHO is evaluating ongoing research into ways to spread Covid-19 disease and will continue to publish new findings. But given the risks involved, this is another reason to wash your hands regularly after using the toilet and before eating.
8- How can I protect myself and prevent the spread of the disease?
• Wash your hands regularly by rubbing them with an alcohol hand sanitizer or washing them with soap and water, because you wash or rub your hands with soap and water with an alcohol disinfectant would kill the viruses that might be on your hands.
• Keep a distance of at least one meter (3 feet) between you and anyone who coughs or sneezes.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, as the hands touch many surfaces and can catch viruses. If your hands are contaminated, they can spread the virus to your eyes, nose, or mouth. The virus can enter the body through these exits and make you sick.
Ad
• Make sure that you and those around you follow good breathing practices. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue paper when you cough or sneeze, then immediately throw away the tissue.
Stay home if you feel sick. If you have a fever, cough, and shortness of breath, see a doctor and contact your health care provider before you go home. Follow the instructions of the local health authorities.
9- Who is at risk of developing a serious illness because of the crown?
We are still aware of the impact of Covid-19 disease on people, but it seems that the elderly and people with pre-existing medical conditions (such as high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes) have a more serious illness than the others.
10- Are antibiotics effective in preventing or treating Covid-2019 disease?
No! Antibiotics don’t kill viruses, they only kill bacterial infections. Since Covid-19 disease is caused by a virus, antibiotics do not eliminate it. Antibiotics should not be used as a means of preventing or treating Covid-19 disease. It should only be used according to the doctor’s instructions to treat bacterial infections.
11- Is there a vaccine, medication or treatment for Covid-2019?
Not yet. To date, there is no specific vaccine or antiviral medication to prevent or treat Covid-2019 disease. However, those who suffer from it should receive care to relieve the symptoms. Critically ill people should be hospitalized. Most patients recover with supportive care.
12- Is Covid-19 disease the same as SARS?
No! The virus that causes Covid-19 disease and the virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) are genetic, but they are different. SARS is more deadly, but much less contagious than Covid-19. SARS has not spread anywhere in the world since 2003.
13- Should I use a mask to protect myself?
People without respiratory symptoms such as cough should not use medical masks. The organization recommends the use of a muzzle for people with symptoms of Covid-19 disease and those caring for people with symptoms such as cough and fever. The use of the mouth is extremely important for health workers and those caring for a patient (at home or in a health facility).
The most effective ways to protect yourself and others from Covid-19 disease is to keep your hands clean, cover your mouth when you cough by bending your elbow or a handkerchief, and stay at least 1 meter away. (3 feet) people who cough or sneeze.
14- What is the correct way to apply, use, remove and eliminate the muzzle?
Remember that use of the mouth should be limited to health workers, caregivers, and people with respiratory symptoms such as fever and cough.
Before touching the mouth, clean your hands by rubbing them with an alcohol cleaner or by washing them with soap and water.
Hold the mouth and check it to make sure it is not torn or punctured.
– Select the upper end of the muzzle (the position of the metal bar).
– Make sure to point the right side of the muzzle outwards (the colored side).
Place the muzzle on your face. Press the metal tape or hardened tip of the muzzle to shape your nose.
Pull the bottom of the muzzle to cover your mouth and chin.
– After use, remove the muzzle by removing the elastic band from behind the ears, keeping the muzzle away from your face and your clothes to avoid contact with potentially contaminated parts of the muzzle.
Immediately discard the used mouth by throwing it in a closed bin.
– Wash your hands after touching or disposing of your mouth by rubbing it with an alcohol disinfectant or by washing it with soap and water if it is clearly dirty.
15- How long does the incubation of Covid-19 last?
The term “incubation” refers to the period from infection with the virus to the onset of symptoms of the disease. Most estimates of the incubation period for Covid-19 disease range from one day to 14 days, usually for five days.
16- Can Covid-19 infection be transmitted to humans from an animal source?
Corona viruses are a large group of viruses common to bats and animals. People are rarely infected with these viruses, which they then pass on to others. Examples are the Corona virus which causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which has been associated with civet cats, and the Corona virus, which causes respiratory syndrome in the Middle East, which is transmitted by camels. The potential animal sources of Covid-19 disease have not been confirmed.
To protect yourself, for example, when visiting live animal markets, avoid direct contact with animals and surfaces in contact with animals. Be sure to follow good food safety practices at all times, being careful when dealing with raw meat, raw milk and animal organs to avoid contamination of uncooked food and avoid eating products raw or undercooked animals.
17- Can Covid-19 be infected by a pet?
No! There is no data to indicate that pets or domestic animals such as cats and dogs have been infected with Covid-19 disease or can spread the virus that causes this disease.
18- How long does the virus live on rooftops?
It is unclear how long the virus that causes Covid-19 lives on the surface, but it appears to be similar to other coronaviruses. Studies indicate that corona viruses (including preliminary information about the virus that causes Covid-19 disease) can stay alive on surfaces for a few hours or several days. This may vary depending on conditions (such as the type of surface, temperature or humidity of the environment).
If you suspect a surface may be contaminated, clean it with regular antiseptic to kill the virus and protect yourself and others. Wash your hands by rubbing them with an alcohol cleaner or by washing them with soap and water, and avoid touching your eyes, mouth or nose.
19- Is it safe to receive parcels from regions that have reported cases of Covid-19 disease?
Yes The risk of contamination of commercial goods by an infected person is low and the risk of contracting the virus that causes Covid-19 disease by expelling transportation, shipping and exposure to various conditions and temperatures is minimal.
20- Are there ineffective questions to face Corona?
The following measures are ineffective against Covid-19 disease and can even be harmful:
• Smoking
•
Use of traditional herbal remedies • Use of multiple masks
• Self-medication such as taking antibiotics
at all times, if you have any fever, cough, and difficulty breathing, see a doctor early On To reduce the risk of a more serious infection, be sure to tell the health care provider about any place you have been recently.
21- Can the Corona Covid 19 virus be transmitted by mosquito bites?
The virus cannot be transmitted by mosquito bites.
22- Can children’s urine protect against the corona virus?
Children’s urine cannot protect against emerging coronavirus. Urine does not kill viruses or germs. In fact, urine can contain small amounts of viral or bacterial substances.
Washing your hands or cleaning surfaces in children’s urine will not protect you from the emerging coronavirus. Instead, clean your hands frequently with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer or wash them with soap and water. Clean surfaces with familiar household antiseptics.
23- Can cold and snow kill the Corona virus?
Cold and snow cannot kill the emerging coronavirus.
24- Can the emerging coronavirus be transmitted by things like coins and banknotes?
The risk of developing a new coronavirus due to contact with objects, including coins, banknotes or credit cards, is very low.
25- Can Coronavirus spread by air over long distances?
No! Corona viruses are viruses that do not spread over long distances in the air, and emerging corona virus is a respiratory virus that is spread primarily by droplets secreted by an infected person when they cough or sneeze, or by droplets of saliva or nasal secretions. Due to their high weight, these droplets cannot be transported with air. You can also get infected by touching your eyes, mouth, or nose after coming into contact with a contaminated surface.
26- Are hand dryers (available in public toilets, for example) effective in eliminating the corona virus in less than 30 seconds?
No! Hand dryers are not effective in removing the emerging corona virus. To protect yourself from the new virus, you should always clean your hands by rubbing them with an alcohol disinfectant or by washing them with soap and water. After cleaning your hands, they should be thoroughly dried with a cloth or hot air dryers.
27- Can UV sterilizers destroy the new Corona virus?
UV lamps should not be used to sterilize the hands or any other part of the skin, as these rays can cause allergic reactions to the skin.
28- Does spraying alcohol or chlorine on the body help eliminate the new corona virus?
No, spraying alcohol or chlorine on the body will not kill the viruses that have already entered your body. It can even be harmful to clothing or mucous membranes (such as the eyes and mouth). However, alcohol and chlorine can be beneficial for disinfecting surfaces, but they must be used in accordance with the appropriate recommendations.
29- Is it safe to receive messages or packages from China?
Yes on. Receiving packages from China does not run the risk of contracting the emerging coronavirus. WHO analysis has shown that corona viruses do not live long on things, such as letters or parcels.
30- Do pneumonia vaccines protect against the emerging corona virus?
Pneumonia vaccines, such as the pneumococcal vaccine and the Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine, do not provide protection against the emerging coronavirus.
Ad
This virus is completely new and different and needs its own vaccine. Researchers are working to develop a new vaccine for the new coronavirus-2019 vaccine, and WHO is supporting these efforts.
Although these vaccines are ineffective against the emerging SK-2019 virus, it is strongly recommended that you get vaccinated against respiratory diseases to protect your health.
31- Does regular rinsing of the nose with brine help prevent infection by emerging coronavirus?
No, there is no evidence that regular washing of the nose with saline prevents infection by the emerging coronavirus.
32- Does the consumption of garlic help prevent infection by the emerging coronavirus?
Garlic is a healthy food and has certain antimicrobial properties. However, there is no evidence of the current epidemic to prove that consumption of garlic prevents infection by the emerging coronavirus.
33- Does the application of sesame oil on the skin prevent the emergence of the emerging corona virus in the body?
No, sesame oil does not kill the emerging corona virus. There are chemical disinfectants that kill Corona virus on surfaces. Antiseptics include bleaches, chlorine and other solvents, 75% ethanol, peroxyacetic acid, and chloroform. However, its effect on the virus is weak or nonexistent if it is applied to the skin or just below the nose. It is rather dangerous to apply these chemicals to the skin.
34- Are diabetics more susceptible to infection by the corona virus?
Yes, because the German Diabetes Association has warned that diabetics are more susceptible to emerging coronavirus infection, especially people with or associated with diabetes, such as circulatory problems and damaged kidneys.
The association said that if these people were infected with the Corona virus, the disease would take a serious and potentially fatal course.
To avoid these risks, the association stressed the need to take care to control the level of blood sugar, taking into account compliance with general health requirements, where hands should be washed with soap regularly during a period of at least 20 seconds, taking into account the cleaning of the spaces between the fingers and the back of the hand as well, In addition to avoiding human gatherings as much as possible.
35- Can a person who has recovered from an episode of coronavirus be re-infected?
Yes It turns out that some of those who were previously infected with the emerging virus “Covid-19” and who recovered from it, contracted it again after their recovery.
36- What is a quarantine?
Quarantine is a procedure for people who have been exposed to an infectious disease, whether sick or not.
People in quarantine are required to stay at home or elsewhere to prevent the spread of the disease to other people and to carefully monitor the effects of the disease on them and their health.
37- What is insulation?
Isolation is a more distinct procedure for people with an infectious disease, who can easily pass it on to those around them. Isolated, these people generally remain separated from others in a health care establishment, the isolated person has his or her own bedroom and health professionals take certain precautions to deal with them, such as wearing protective clothing.
38- Who is responsible for imposing stone or isolation?
The Ministry of Health is the body responsible for the decision to implement quarantine or isolation, whether inside a hospital or even inside homes, and here citizens must respect the decision to isolate.
39- How does the Corona virus attack the human body?
The first outlet to communicate with the emerging Covid-19 virus is the lungs, and it attacks two specific groups of cells in the lungs, one of which is called the goblet cell, and the other is called a hair cell.
The goblet cells produce mucus which forms a moisturizing layer on the airways, which is important in helping to maintain moisture in the lungs, thereby maintaining health.
Hair cells are cells with upward-pointing hairs, and their function is to shovel any harmful substance suspended in the mucus, such as bacteria, viruses, and dust particles, toward the throat to remove them.
The Corona virus, in turn, infects and begins to kill these two groups of cells, and its tissues begin to fall and accumulate in the lungs, and the lungs begin to become clogged, which means that the patient has a pneumonia.
Another problem is that the body’s immune system tries to respond because it realizes that the body is under attack, which can lead to an overload of immunity, and then the immune system makes a major attack that damages healthy lung tissue, which can also make breathing more difficult.
The virus attacks not only the lungs, but also the kidneys, which can lead to kidney failure and subsequent death.
40- On which sex does the SK virus represent the greatest danger?
The Corona virus is more dangerous for men than for women, and experts believe that the low death rate in women is mainly due to the strength of the female immune system, and they pointed out that women are able to fight the new mutated virus.
