Coronavirus

The coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It was first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and has since spread rapidly to become a global pandemic.

The symptoms of COVID-19 can range from mild to severe and can include fever, cough, fatigue, loss of taste or smell, and difficulty breathing. The virus is primarily spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, but it can also be transmitted by touching a surface contaminated with the virus and then touching one's mouth, nose, or eyes. The best ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 include practicing good hygiene, such as frequent hand washing and covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, wearing a mask, maintaining physical distance from others, and getting vaccinated. The pandemic has had a significant impact on global health, the economy, and society as a whole. While vaccines have been developed and rolled out, the pandemic is still ongoing, and it is essential to continue to follow public health guidelines to protect ourselves and others from the virus.
