Coronavirus Death,Source,Symptoms,Precaution and Treatment
According to the Chinese officials, in a development in the case of the spread of coronavirus outbreak in China, the death toll has now risen to 106. They’ve also said that there have been around 1291 additional confirmed cases adding up to make a total of more than 4500 cases of the virus in China. Additionally, the health department of Bavaria, on Tuesday, announced Germany's first confirmed case of the virus The department also mentioned that the patient is in the town of Starnberg. It was also mentioned that the patient has been isolated and is in a 'good condition'. Canada also, on early Tuesday morning, confirmed its first case of the virus.
After the news of the rising death toll spread, the Chinese authorities, on Tuesday, in a bid to curb the effect of the virus on the routine lives of people and to avoid any further positive cases, postponed the opening of schools and universities for the spring semester. The move has been brought all across the country. However, a statement from the ministry said that the institutes would reopen on a case-by-case basis.
The statements also added that the school administrations have been directed to not allow the students to go out or gather in groups. It also said that the students should not be allowed to take part in centralised activities. According to authorities, the virus is believed to have been spread through an infected virus in Wuhan and has now been believed to be transmitted from person to person. However, how easy it is to spread the virus from one person to another remains unclear.
Experts have mentioned that the virus causes flu-like symptoms in humans and the World Health Organisation has declared the virus as a global risk element with China being at the highest risk
Source and Spread of the Virus
Chinese health authorities were
the first to post the full genome of the 2019-nCoV in GenBank, the NIH genetic
sequence database, and in the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID)
portal, an action which has facilitated detection of this virus. CDC posted the
full genome of the 2019-nCoV virus detected in the first and second U.S.
patients to GenBank.
2019-nCoV is a betacoronavirus,
like MERS and SARs, all of which have their origins in bats. The sequences from
U.S. patients are similar to the one that China initially posted, suggesting a
likely single, recent emergence of this virus from an animal reservoir.
Early on, many of the patients
in the outbreak of respiratory illness caused by 2019-nCov in Wuhan, China had
some link to a large seafood and live animal market, suggesting
animal-to-person spread. Later, a growing number of patients reportedly did not
have exposure to animal markets, indicating person-to-person spread. Chinese
officials report that sustained person-to-person spread in the community is
occurring in China. Learn what is known about the spread of newly
emerged coronaviruses.
Illness Severity
Both MERS and SARS have been
known to cause severe illness in people. The complete clinical picture with regard
to 2019-nCoV is still not fully clear. Reported illnesses have ranged from
infected people with little to no symptoms to people being severely ill and
dying.
This is a rapidly evolving situation and
information will be updated as it becomes available.
Symptoms
- runny nose
- headache
- cough
- sore throat
- fever
- a general feeling of being unwell
- lower-respiratory tract illnesses such as pneumonia or bronchitis.
- cardiopulmonary disease
- weakened immune systems infants, and older adults.
Diagnosis
Your healthcare provider may order laboratory tests on respiratory specimens and serum (part of your blood) to detect human coronaviruses. Laboratory testing is more likely to be used if you have severe disease or are suspected of having MERS.
If you are experiencing symptoms, you should tell your healthcare provider about any recent travel or contact with animals. Most MERS-CoV infections have been reported from countries in the Arabian Peninsula. Therefore reporting a travel history or contact with camels or camel products is very important when trying to diagnose MERS.
Prevention
There is currently no vaccine to prevent 2019-nCoV infection. The best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses, including:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
These are everyday habits that can help prevent the spread of several viruses. CDC does have specific guidance for travelers.
Treatment
It is a new virus no information available for his genome and his cause. In time no information available for coronavirus treatment.There are no specific treatments for illnesses caused by human coronaviruses. Most people with common human coronavirus illness will recover on their own. However, you can do some things to relieve your symptoms
