Coronavirus is a strange virus and is considered a cousin of the SARS virus.

Is the Coronavirus Outbreak really in India?

The Indian government is on high alert and trying its best so that this deadly virus may not penetrate the country. In Kerala, three coronavirus cases have been detected; a new case was detected when a Kerala student who returned from Wuhan university started showing suspicious symptoms. This student has been kept in an isolation ward at Kanhangad district hospital in Kasaragod. Airport authorities are taking all the precautions to detect coronavirus patients as they enter India.

Is there a cure to Coronavirus?

There is no specific cure for deadly Coronavirus. Doctors in China and other countries are doing their best to find out a way to treat the affected people. So far, no vaccine has been developed as a treatment. If you develop symptoms of cold and issues with your respiratory system, better consult your physician as soon as possible. In case of sore throat and cough, take a hot shower or use a room humidifier. Keep yourself secluded in a room of your house to stop transmission of the cold to other members of the house.

Drink a lot of liquid supplements, stay at home, and take rest.

The Chinese government has been advising its doctors to mix western antiviral medicine with traditional Chinese medicine to overcome the Coronavirus. But experts believe that it is not feasible.

What kind of mask should you wear?

Coronavirus originated in China; people have been advised to wear a mask over their faces in China, which is of little use. As per the experts, a surgical mask doesn’t provide protection. A specialized mask, which is known as an N95 respirator, can be helpful to protect against Coronavirus, also known as 2019-nCoV. This mask is thicker than a surgical mask generally used by healthcare workers.

Medical Diagnosis of Coronavirus outbreak

Coronavirus is a deadly disease penetrating outside China at a rapid pace. Its symptoms are – cold, flu, body ache, vomiting, sneezing, sore throat, asthma, and so on. However, symptoms vary from person to person. Precaution is the only cure for Coronavirus. The patient should avoid overexertion, stay hydrated and avoid smoking.

Coronavirus agents And transmission

The dangerous Coronavirus has been spreading from person to person. Droplets of bodily fluids such as saliva or mucus from an infected person are scattered in the air by coughing and sneezing. Coughing and sneezing can spread several feet, and its effect remains in the air for 10 minutes. Therefore, it transmits from human to human. But Chinese health authorities have made it clear that the virus can be transferred before the appearance of symptoms.

What are the affected countries?

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared Coronavirus a global public health emergency. The United States, on February 1, announced a public health emergency. Airports worldwide are taking precautions and screening the people who are coming from China to detect infected people.
