The world is now facing the Corona disaster, after the outbreak, and its arrival in many countries, unfortunately, most recently Egypt, so we provide you with all the data on this virus in terms of:
- First: its characteristics
- Second: its symptoms
- Third: Methods of transportation
- Fourth: Prevention methods
- Fifth: Methods of treating corona disease Enabled and available.
- Sixth: How to communicate inside Egypt in case of inquiring or reporting any cases, God forbid, on the special website.(The link to the inquiry or reporting site is at the end of the article to communicate).
- Seventh: How to conduct a PCR analysis to check on and detect the disease.
First: Corona characteristics according to the World Health Organization
1) Corona viruses are a large group of viruses that can cause diseases in humans, starting with the common cold and they may reach respiratory failure or the so-called severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
2) Corona Emerging Virus 2019-20, also called Wuhan Corona Virus or Covid-19, and appeared in December 2019 in Wuhan, China.
3) The virus is spreading directly between people, and the infection rate has increased in January 2020, and several countries have announced the arrival of infected people in Europe, North America, and Asia.
4) The incubation period of the virus (which is the period between infection and the onset of symptoms) ranges from one to 14 days, and it may be contagious before symptoms appear (fever, cough, and difficulty breathing) and may lead to death.
5) Most infected cases had the incubation period for the virus (the period between infection and the onset of symptoms) only five days.
6) The Corona Wuhan or Covid-19 virus sequence matches 75% to 80% of the SARS virus sequence while more than 85% of the corona virus sequence matches the bat.7) It has not yet been established whether (Corona Wuhan or Covid-19 virus) is from the same lethal SARS series.
Second: The order of the occurrence of common corona virus symptoms according to their rates of appearance: According to the World Health Organization, the common symptoms that increase their incidence are as follows:
Fever (88%)
Dry cough (68%)Fatigue (38%)Sputum production (34%)Shortness of breath (19%)Muscle or joint pain (15%)Sore throat (14%)Headache (14%)Chills (12%)Nausea and vomiting (5%)Nasal congestion (5%)Diarrhea (4%)Hemoptysis (1%)Conjunctival hyperemia (0.8%)
** And it is considered as people with weakened immune system & Elderly & People with chronic diseases such as (diabetes mellitus / heart disease / high blood pressure / cancer / chronic lung disease / kidney failure).
** More vulnerable to infection with the virus and reach the critical stages of the disease ,That can cause death, God forbid.
** Corona virus infection can also be symptomatic(That is, the affected person does not have any of the above symptoms).
Third: Corona transmission methods, according to the World Health Organization
1) The virus is transmitted from one person to another through (coughing or sneezing)
2) The virus or its droplets remain suspended in the air for a short period, which reduces the chances of it being transmitted through the air between people and is the only thing that is reassuring in this matter.
3) The virus or its transmitted drops shall remain alive and contagious on (metal & glass & plastic) surfaces for a period of (9) days within the limits of room temperature.
4) Surfaces (metal, glass & plastic) can be disinfected and sterilized with substances such as ethanol for at least one minute.
5) One person can transmit the infection to between 3: 5 people on the same day.
6) Not being able to move through food, but it remains a possibility and therefore, as a matter of precaution, meat and animal products must be completely settled.
7) The virus is of animal origin, as it has been transmitted from animal to human, and so far the method of transmission of the virus from animal to human has not been determined.
Fourth: Corona prevention methods
According to the World Health Organization
1) Good personal hygiene, in addition to washing hands and nails by rubbing with water, soap or hand antiseptics regularly, as this leads to the disposal of the virus.
2) The hands do not come into contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth except after washing them well due to the easy transmission of a virus to the hands due to their contact with many surfaces.
3) Wear medical masks (masks) if you develop symptoms of a common cold (cough or sneeze), and use tissue paper during sneezing or coughing and then get rid of them immediately.4) In cases of suspected infection with the Corona virus, a medical mask , should be worn, and consult a doctor immediately.5) Avoid using multiple masks.
6) Maintaining a distance of at least one meter between you and anyone with common cold symptoms (coughing or sneezing).
7) Washing clothes, shoes, and everything is dirty regularly.
8) Avoid visiting crowded places and markets, and avoid contact with as much as possible.
9) Not to touch animals or wash hands before and after touching animals, as there is a possibility of the virus passing from animal to human.
10) Refrain completely from slaughtering sick animals or birds for the purpose of eating them.
11) Straightening the meat completely before eating it, and not eating the meat of wild animals that are caught or raw, due to the extreme danger of eating anything raw.
12) Observing heat treatment in any of its various forms, whether (pasteurization, flattening or cooking) of dairy and its products before eating it, and not eating it raw, given the extreme danger of eating anything raw.
13) As a precaution and, as far as possible, avoid visiting (markets, farms or barns) that are crowded with live animals such as camels and pigs, or live birds such as poultry.
14) Avoid smoking, in addition to avoiding taking antibiotics because they are not useful in this case as they do not eliminate viruses, but only eliminate bacterial infections.
Fifth: Corona treatment methods available and possible, according to the World Health Organization
Until this moment there is no vaccine or a specific treatment for the disease, and the treatment available at the present time is to alleviate the symptoms on the injured, which are very similar to the common and common cold symptoms, by trying to:
Increase and raise immunity through adequate sleep, fasting, and eating vitamin C and vitamin D and a group of vitamins and minerals, in addition to adopting proper and balanced nutrition methods rich in vitamins and minerals.
Sixth: To inquire or report on Corona within the Arab Republic of Egypt
Call: 105 or contact via care.Org.eg
Seventh: Conduct P.C.R analysis to detect infection in (corona)
