About Covid 19

●  Covid-19 spreads through airborne droplets (sneeze or cough) or surface contact.

●  A person may contract Covid-19 by touching their own nose, eyes, or mouth after coming into contact with a surface or object contaminated with the virus.

●  The incubation period, or the time between infection and symptom onset, is not very reliable. Therefore, the ideal duration for quarantining individuals cannot be determined.

●  Typically, Covid-19 follows an infection that is classified as biphasic or dual-phase.

●  It indicates that the virus is still active and is causing symptoms that were not present during the first outbreak.

●  Additionally, a recovered individual may occasionally relapse.

●  WHO: After classifying COVID-19 infections as a public health emergency of global concern, it subsequently designated them as a pandemic.

●  RNA virus: One of the biggest members of the RNA family, coronavirus has an RNA genome.

●  Single-stranded: Single-stranded positive-sense RNA is found within enveloped coronaviruses.
