Owing to the Novel Coronavirus outbreak (COVID19), *Sahakarsutra* has stated a few precautionary measures as an Emergency Response Action Plan.
We are happy to share it and hope it will be beneficial for public consumption.
*What is Coronavirus?*
The 2019 COVID (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease that is spreading by an infected person from touching of any object. At present, how easily the COVID-19 virus spreads to humans is unknown. Most people who engage in COVID-19 will have mild symptoms, but some people will have more severe symptoms.
Symptoms can include:
Fever
Cough
Difficulty breathing (shortness of breath)
More serious cases develop severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis, and septic shock.
Generally, older people and those with underlying conditions (such as hypertension, heart disorders, diabetes, liver disorders, and respiratory disorders) are more likely to develop serious symptoms.
*How does the virus spread?*
The WHO states that a preliminary R0 range of 1.4-2.5 for human-to-human transmission. The inclusion of the virus is currently estimated at 2–14 days and it appears that the virus is transmitted mainly by flu-like symptoms and respiratory droplets that freeze cough, and exhalation.
Novel coronavirus outbreak: information and resources
Several cases of unexplained viral pneumonia in Wuhan City, China, were confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 31 December 2019.
The disease has quickly developed in Asia, Europe, North and South America, Australia and Africa, in other areas of China and many countries all over the world. The WHO listed COVID-19 as a pandemic on 11 March 2020.
For the latest information on the number of people receipt of COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 geographical distribution, ERS recommends checking the day-to-day situation reports of WHO.
*Coronavirus: Tips to protect yourself from the outbreak*
It is important to take measures to avoid further dissemination of SARS–CoV-2, which is why anyone may contract the virus. Normal infection prevention guidelines should be adopted by the public including:
Regular handwashing with soap and water and Use regular Sanitizer
Avoiding touching your face, especially the mouth, eyes, and nose
Covering the mouth and nose with the inner elbow when coughing or sneezing
Avoiding crowded places
Staying at home if you feel unwell – even with a slight fever or cough
Avoiding close contact with persons showing symptoms of respiratory illness, including coughing or sneezing
Having a fever, cough and difficulty breathing seek medical care early, but always call your healthcare provider.
If you have any contact with a person who has COVID-19, contact your healthcare provider and inform them that you have been in contact with someone with COVID-19 for further guidance.
